I can relate to the situation at hand. I just started diving last year and my
first saltwater dive was in the Florida Keys off the Isle of Marada.   I had
tyhe best time of my life.  Fortunately  I had a more familiar diver with me
that knew exactly where we were, and how far from the boat. I had to surface
early beacause of the amount of air I had.  He point me in the direction of
the boat and gasve me an aproximate distance. Now the fun part comes in   I
enbded up about 40 yards from the boat.  Not too bad but when he came he
asked what had happened and I told him that underwater  there where no
directions.  The salution ?

I enrolled in a navigation class this year... Starts in two weeks. I(t has
something to do with the  kicks and the of course the compass. Not that this
helps. However I would be interested in any other directional solutions  you
guys come up with
