Thanks for the compliment!!

This is the first video on underwater compass use where I let out a sigh of relief because I finally *understand*. You break up all the steps so nicely and clearly. Excellent and very educational, thank you!

Woohoo!!! Happy it was helpful! Thanks for the comment, 🙌

I was so stressed about having to do this for my AOW this week, but honestly not turning the bezel and instead just aligning E/S/W for the 90 degree turns is such a game changer. SO much easier 😵 I don't know why I didn't even think of this before. Thank you!

So happy to hear it helped! Let me know how your AOW goes this week!!! You got this! Congrats on furthering your dive education and reply here when you do the navigation portion! This trick saved me SO much time in basic navigation so I'm glad it was an unlock for you 😊

I searched all over youtube about how to use compass while diving last few weeks...cant even get a suitable video for me, suddenly youtube recommend your video to me ! ❤ thanks for your great sharing.

Oh my gosh, I’m sorry I didn’t post it last week! Haha. I’m glad you found it useful and I hope it still serves you well! Share it with your dive buddies if they need an overview too, haha. Where were you diving last week? Any fun trips? Thanks again for commenting, hope to see you in future videos!

I tried to keep it to basics 😅, maybe I covered too much haha. Thank you for the compliment though (I’ll assume it’s good that you learned a lot from the video!)!! You should have definitely learned out and back and square patterns in your AOW Nav course. Your instructor didn’t have you do those? 😱

You’re welcome! Certification is part of it, but I think continued learning is always important. I’m so happy to hear this helped! Let me know if you have any questions!

You shared this information in person with our AOW group last weekend. I couldn't agree more with your comments around digital. I had to recalibrate multiple times and it's a huge pain to read off the wrist(Perdix compass.) Wish I had followed your method the first time. Thank you for making the video!

Hey!!! Good to see you! Yes, digital is just hard to use and you don’t get the bezel “cheats” that I personally love for basic patterns like 90 degree turns, and the digital compass just doesn’t always seem accurate to me for whatever reason. I LOVE my Perdix but that compass, idk haha.

Thanks!

Wow, thank you so much for the Super Thanks! I’m glad you found the video helpful! That’s my first ever super thanks! Just…Wow!…..Sincerely thank you for the support! That just made my day.

I love compasses. They're the symbol of adventure. And I'm guessing no matter how much the earth's magnetic field changes, even if it flips, this compass you used can still be used to navigate. Like it won't become outdated in a decade or 3. I remember watching a video about plane landing strip numbers. If I remember correctly, the numbers are approximately degrees from magnetic North... And different airports can have the same number on a strip pointing a different direction from another airport, or what a compass currently says, because, not only they may have rounded up or down, but also magnetic North may have changed since that strip or airport was built. It was a CPG Grey video.

Blue water can be very disorienting and deceiving. Ive been trained in green water and had to surface a few times to get a heading on those blue water dives. Practice practice practice Good vid! DGX sells a really nice handheld compass at a good price with a 30 degree forgiveness on tilt

Haven’t seen you for awhile, happy to have you back! Haha. I totally agree, plain open blue water with no references is disorienting. I’ll check into the Dive Gear Express one!

That's the skills they have you do for a lot of the navigation specialties for various agencies including the one I'm affiliated with. I'd love to do some advanced nav patterns and such though, anything specific you'd like to see? This one was more so for "basics" and "beginners" that are new to compass nav and just need a few basic concepts down. Hard to make a video that's for everyone so I try to target content based on an audience demographic and sometimes it's useful for more than just "beginners" or "new divers" but other times it may just be for a small group of people (for example I did a video on how to get into cave diving that I don't expect brand new divers necessarily need/care about).
