Chased and harassed by a Bermuda Chub. Territorial and sporting an aggressive attitude, these fish will bite. I found that engaging them only made things worse, best to ignore and swim away.

Top inexpensive places to stay in Mexico, Aventuras, Akumal
Kay Walten gives you inside scoop on the beaches and places to stay during your vacation in mexico in Aventuras, Akumal in this video When you're ready to take a beach vacation in the Riviera Maya, go to
When I first moved to Mexico, I lived in Aventuras Akumal, which is just south of the main village of Akumal. The beach is great. It's a long stretch of beach; you can walk, which seems forever. There's snorkeling right off the beach, and there's a dive shop or two. You can just hop a dive boat and go out for a dive during the day.
The properties there range from inexpensive condominiums to some lovely houses, but none of the properties are so over-the-top that you can't afford to stay there. Aventuras Akumal is perfect for families and couples.

Underwater Navigation How To Use A SCUBA Compass
Before we get started, don't forget to download our free guide The 8 Tools You Should Never Dive Without.
For more information about cleaning your masks visit our blog post on the subject:
The most commonly used SCUBA navigation device is the compass. All divers have one and should carry it with them whenever they descend into the abyss. We all know that there is no such thing as an underwater GPS for Divers! Unfortunately, many of us, including myself when I first started, do not really know how to correctly use the compass to navigate underwater.
The parts of the compass:
The Card:
This is the part of the compass that has the degrees and the letters that determine direction
The Bessel:
This a rotating piece of plastic on the outside of the compass which can be rotated to help us read our heading
The Lubber Line:
This line is fixed on the compass' face and is used to help us read our heading.
The Side Window:
This is a window on the side of the compass that makes it easier for us to see our heading.
**Note that a digital compass does not have all these parts**
How to Use a Compass for Underwater Navigation
The first thing we need to go over is how to hold your compass when underwater. This is important because different compasses are mounted in different ways. Not knowing how to hold a compass can cause you to get an incorrect heading
Taking a heading
A heading is the number attached to the direction you are traveling in. It will always fall between 0 and 360 and is commonly known as degrees.
The Reciprocal course
This is a very common question. Because we take headings in a circle from 0 to 360 degrees, it is possible to calculate your reciprocal, or opposite heading. To do this we use something called the add subtract 180 rule. It requires a little math, but it is not difficult.
How to use your compass to assist in natural navigation.
It is a great idea to use your compass in conjunction with natural navigation. This is a very good way of avoiding tunnel vision, something that occurs when you are laser focused on your compass and you do not notice what is happening around you. I have seen it happen more than once that a student will focus so singularly on their compass that they will swim right passed the ascent line without even noticing it.
What if there is a cross current?
There are times when you will be swimming with a current coming across your body rather than in front or behind you. The idea here is to slightly deviate your swimming by slightly directing yourself into the current to compensate. Of course, this is not an exact science, but it will allow you to compensate for the current and get you closer to your destination.
I hope this has helped you understand the ins and outs of using a compass as a SCUBA navigation device.

Cozumel Dive Summer 2009 Part II
Two dives off of the island of Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico The first dive site is called Palancar Bricks. This is part of a reef discovered by Jacques Cousteau and has got the name bricks because a ship overturned, dumping a bunch of bricks on the reef. A brick is shown at the beginning of the dive. The second dive is at a site called Yucab reef. The colors were fantastic on this dive, along with all of the wildlife - grouper, lobster, christmas tree worms, stars, eel, nudibranch. The video was made by Studio Nox, a great outfit that works with Scuba Du at the Presidente Intercontinental.
