About This Adventure

Self Reliant Diving and Solo Scuba Diving is not for everyone, and should not be undertaken lightly, but it does have a place for the experienced divers with the right training and equipment.

Are you a Photographer, Dive Master or Instructor who wants to achieve SELF RELIANCE in Diving...then this course is for you.

Duration

2 days

About

This course is designed to provide you with the skills, knowledge and experience to make the necessary decisions independently required for Self Reliance.

A common misunderstanding is that Self Reliance means simply solo diving or diving alone, it is not.

It is building the skills to handle situations underwater independently, which will make you a stronger diver or member of the Dive Team.

That said however; for Dive Professionals, Photographers, Travelling Divers and those that want to focus on different things from everyone else SOLO DIVING has its place if you are Properly Trained, Properly Equipped and most of all Properly Prepared.
