PADI Self Reliant Diver Course – Solo Diver

PADI Self Reliant Diver Course – Solo Diver

Our PADI Self Reliant Diver Course – Solo Diver can help you from experiencing sheer terror on a dive boat. Have you ever walked onto a dive boat and cringed seeing a bunch of divers putting their gear on every way but the correct way? Have you ever walked on and felt like the most experienced diver on the boat? Are you the diver they always pair the weakest diver on the boat with who cuts your dive short because they have no buoyancy or airway control? You might be safer diving by yourself if this is the case.

Solo Diver certification gives you a license to enjoy yourself doing the dive you want to the depth you want without having to worry about anyone other than yourself. It’s a viable option instead of having to settle for a bad dive with inexperienced divers.

You’ll learn how to utilize safety equipment, redundant scuba air delivery systems, lift bag or surface marker buoy deployments with a spool and the benefits of utilizing a more progressive equipment configuration.

This course is available privately for individuals or groups locally or wherever you are located.

Learn the art of self sufficiency and socially distance alone underwater.
