PADI Self-Reliant Diver Course
PADI Self-Reliant Diver Course
Do you have an adventurous spirit? With proper training, equipment and the right attitude to accept the risks involved in independent diving, an experienced diver can responsibly engage in dives without a buddy.
This course is the bridge between recreational diving and technical diving as many of the skills you learn are the same as first level tech divers learn. You will develop the skills to effectively rely on yourself for problem solving, and you will build your skill base to be a better diver with or without a buddy.
Self-reliant diving is an adventure activity that is not for everyone, but does have its place. If you have the discipline and commitment to learn and follow self-reliant diving techniques, you'll bolster your skills and confidence when diving alone, in a dive pair or as part of a team.
