often, the most overlooked aspect of diving. Remember your very first Open water dive? You were excited about your first diving

and see that your instructor knew exactly where you were all the time. Navigation can be difficult but, with a little practice
and experience, you two will soon be navigating like a pro. Dive requirement: 3

on this once vibrant vessel resting peacefully on the bottom, slowly being claimed by the sea and her creatures. Wreck diving
is an adventure in exploring man's loss and nature's gain. Dive requirement:
4 Dives over 2 days Prerequisite: Advanced Open Water Diver Back to Specialty List
