Ask your questions about underwater navigation (and the compass) or tell me your best "getting lost" story!!

I like analog compass better than electronic ones. I am still learning to keep my card from locking and keeping my bearings

this should be one of the first skills any divers should learn.

it is part of the PADI Open Water course (not sure about other agencies, but i assume it is). However, this skill is not something most new divers are willing to undertand or pay attention during the Open Water course. Also, not all instructors know how to teach this skill properly or they rush it.

@@PerezAdvent i did my open water in 2005 with PADI i don't remember having touching the subject but maybe i am wrong. I did my rescue in 2010, then it was part of the class.

i cannot comment when the change occur (assuming it was not there before)...but underwater navigation in the curriculum since i started teaching...so this could've been a change from when you've done. regardless, this skill is really important like you mentioned...but here in the UK with poor visibility waters, it is more important

Need to explain how to use the compass to find the bearing of an object in view and how to use the bezel to set a bearing that you are given. Also need to explain how to travel along a bearing and then, once a destination is reached, how to use the compass to find the reciprocal heading to return home.

all explained in the "How to use" section of the video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nb6VjaiqvbSUpXU.html&list=UULFqT7uUywsaFb_n-QRDtl82A). for the reciprocal heading, i explained it on the Tips & Techniques (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nb6VjaiqvbSUpXU.html&list=UULFqT7uUywsaFb_n-QRDtl82A)
