Navigation Koh Tao, SSI Navigation Diver Specialty
Exploring dive sites is amazing, but do you know how to find your way underwater without your instructor? The Navigation Koh Tao course helps you gain autonomy, navigate confidently, and explore the 28 dive sites around the island safely. As a result, you can fully enjoy your dives without getting lost. This certification is recognised by SSI and valid at affiliated centres worldwide.
Why take the Navigation Koh Tao course?
Underwater navigation is essential for diver safety and efficiency. With this specialty, you will learn how to use different tools and techniques to orient yourself, return to your starting point, and explore confidently. Moreover, these skills enhance your observation and situational awareness underwater — and feed directly into your Advanced Open Water progression, where navigation is one of the assessed skills.
