I’ve watched 4 other videos trying to learn how to navigate underwater using a compass from several big scuba diving KZread channels and this video happens to be the best. I have finally got the answer for what I was looking for. Thank you, Zhang!

agreed.

If only every other KZread tutorial could be this simple and to the point. Every video about this topic was a waste of time until I found yours. Thank you

This really is probably the best video around! Great explanation!

Simple easy compass technique. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic demo in preparing for my Advanced Open Water this Fall

So helpful, so simple, so concise. Thank you sir.

Does your compass also glow?

was that supposed to have sound?

Simple and easy but could you please do one with triangle (not equal angle ones) ? Thanks !

After traveling your fixed distance, simply add 120° to whatever bearing/reading North is at, do this for the fixed distance, then repeat once more then you're back at your start point.

Hi, when do we know if we use the compass clockwise or counter-clockwise? Does it matter?

1) If you are performing reciprocal course (turning 180 degrees back to original location): Doesn't matter 2) If you are performing square pattern AND returning to original location: Doesn't matter 3) If you are performing navigation or something more complex: It probably matter. Example: You are navigating from Point A to Point B, and having to avoid obstacles.

Simple and good video - but you know that, this is a scuba compass ;) This compass is good enough for underwater navigation (where not this navigation is the first important) but for the land navigation a good plate compass more precise (with mirror, sighting and a good topographic map)). Eg. navigating in a city (standing on the corner of the street and which direction is right) this is perfect.
