Learn to find your way underwater with the PADI Underwater Navigator specialty in the Seychelles, practising compass and natural navigation on Mahe's boulder reefs and coral gardens. Over three dives you learn to navigate accurately around granite formations like the Coral Garden, a practical skill where reef structure and current shape every dive. You finish able to lead a dive and return reliably to your start point.
PADI Underwater Navigator can be taken as a standalone specialty, and the first dive may credit toward the Advanced Open Water course. It counts toward the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.
Navigation dives use Mahe's gently sloping boulder reefs and coral gardens, where granite features make clear natural landmarks in 26-30C water with calm-to-moderate currents. Any season works, with April-May and September-November giving the best visibility.
