Highlights

With proper training, equipment and the right attitude to accept the risks involved in independent diving, an experience diver can responsibly engage in dives without a buddy.

  • Learning how to compensate for situations you would normally handle with a buddy is the focus of the Self-Reliant Diver course.
  • This includes proper dive planning using air consumption rate calculations, life support system redundancy, and independent management of dive emergencies.
  • If you have the mental 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.
