ORIENTATION AT THE DIVE SITE
To better understand your surroundings, you should use your compass
to orientate yourself already on the surface. Underwater navigation is
demanding, so using the compass already at the shore or on the boat helps
you better understand your movement underwater.
Before diving, check the shoreline or boat position relative to magnetic north
and your planned dive route. This helps you underwater to navigate towards
the ascent place where you want to end your dive.
If you are using, a map you should first turn your map in the right direction.
This ensures the geographic features around you are in the same general
direction as you see them on the map.
1. Hold your compass level and look at the triangle to see where
north is.
2. Turn the map so that the northern upper edge is pointing north.
