Your deep, intellectual insight intrigues me. I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Here is a great read to help you get an understanding of the fundamentals: SCUBA

Two things I highly recommend... PRACTICE on land first! Do not think that just because you read how to use a compass that you will remember how when underwater. Practice, Practice, Practice!

If you have a slate, I strongly recommend writing down your headings and bearings when you are first getting started with U/W navigation.

Both of these ideas are for one reason.... to help you minimize any task loading. Add in a buddy to monitor depth and air consumption, and you'll off load even more tasks.
These are VERY good suggestions.
