When actually setting the heading though there are a few things to consider in conjunction with your buddy. First of all is whose compass do you use. Compasses can vary by up to 10 degrees in their readings. If both are using their own then this needs to be determined before setting out on a course. To do this take a bearing on a fixed point on the surface and compare readings. Do this for several points to be sure of the deviation if any. Then select the course or point you wish to find and decide who will do the navigating and who will monitor the other key factors of the dive. It is best to choose one compass and stay with that throughout the dive. The chief benefit of doing this is that it improves the communication skills of the divers in addition to their navigation skills. (...)
