Uncommon Divination
This set of instruments is used for navigation in the underground. Proficiency with a Spelunker's Sextant (a specialized form of Navigator’s Tools) lets you chart a ship's course and follow navigation charts. In addition, these tools allow you to add your proficiency bonus to any ability check you make to avoid getting lost underground.
Proficiency with a Spelunker's Sextant helps you determine a true course based on observing the gravity, magnetic north, and the signal ping from a magical beacon located at the Unders Ecological Institute. It also grants you insight into charts and maps while developing your sense of direction.

Survival. Knowledge of a Spelunker's Sextant helps you avoid becoming lost and also grants you insight into the most likely location for crossroads and settlements.
