I am a professional instructor and examiner living on the Maltese island of Gozo and am devoted to teaching.
The RAID Navigation Diver course I offer in Malta is an excellent opportunity for those who want to improve their underwater navigation skills. RAID is a world-renowned scuba diving training agency that offers a wide range of courses for both beginners & experienced divers.
The Navigation Diver course is designed for divers who want to enhance their navigational skills, and it includes both theoretical and practical aspects. The course covers topics such as compass use, natural navigation, and how to use underwater maps. The theoretical component of the course can be completed online, which is convenient for those who want to complete the course at their own pace. Once the theoretical component is completed, students are required to attend a practical session with me in Malta.
The practical session of the Navigation Diver course is conducted over two days, and it includes three dives. During the first dive, me will assess the student's current navigational skills and provide feedback on how to improve them. The second and third dives are designed to give students the opportunity to practice their navigational skills in real-world scenarios. For example, students will be asked to navigate to a specific point underwater using a compass, and they will also have to use natural features to navigate their way back to the starting point.
One of the unique features of the RAID Navigation Diver course offered by me in Malta is the use of underwater maps. I will provide students with a map of the dive site, and they will be required to use the map to navigate their way around the site. This is an excellent way for students to practice their navigational skills in a controlled environment, and it also helps them to understand how to use underwater maps effectively.
ONLINE LEARNING

The inwater skills dives are completed in sheltered areas to allow you to build skills introduced by your instructor in small steps.

Another unique aspect of the course is the use of technology. I uses a variety of tools to help students improve their navigational skills. For example, he uses a GPS tracker to monitor the location of the students during the dive, and he also uses a video camera to record the dive so that students can review their performance and identify areas for improvement.
Overall, the RAID Navigation Diver course offered with me in Malta is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to improve their underwater navigational skills. The course covers all the essential topics and provides students with practical opportunities to practice their skills in a controlled environment.

Toby was a great instructor. I thoroughly enjoyed my diving with him in Gozo. The dives we did we amazing, I had a great experience!

Joseph Philbin
Tec Student
Before working with Toby, I'd never dived. Now I confidently dive 40m wreck on nitrox. I owe that entirely to his teaching, encouragement and (in no small measure) his patience. Both in and out of the water, his instruction and professionalism dispelled any anxieties I had and ensured I felt safe throughout.
