Hi all, was wondering whether you guys have navigational tips and tricks that are not in the manual, but super useful when diving?
About to take both the Underwater Navigator and Search and Recovery Specialties, and saw quite a lot of useful tips in the manuals
For example, waves breaking in isolated spots usually indicates a shallow spot, sea fans usually grow perpendicular to the current, colour changes in waters indicate depth changes etc.
Would be cool if you guys can share tips on navigation, anything ranging from natural navigation, tips when using navigational patterns, to compass usage etc.
Looking forward to your answers!
