PADI Self Reliant Diver
Learn self-reliance both while diving with a buddy and alone.
This course isn’t just about diving on your own; it’s about becoming more self-reliant whether in a buddy pair or dive team. This will overall make you a better prepared diver, whatever the situation. This course is ideal for photographers, videographers, and dive professionals.
You will learn when diving alone may be applicable and how you compensate for the extra safety a buddy would give you. We have an array of specialist equipment to aid us in teaching a very in depth course to give new self reliant divers all the confidence and ability they need to dive solo.
You will learn;
- What it means to be a self reliant diver
- How to plan an independent dive safely, including gas requirements
- How to measure your air consumption so that you can calculate your SAC rate
- How to use an SMB or lift bag from the bottom
During the course you will be asked to demonstrate comfort in emergency situations such as loss of mask and out of air and to use navigation and estimated distance estimation to conduct a dives direction.
