The PADI Self Reliant Diver

 

Self Reliant Diver

Why take this course?

The purpose of this course is to recognize and accept the role of the buddy system and its contribution to diver safety while identifying and developing self-reliance and independence while diving. It is not a course for everyone and certainly not one to be taken lightly so the pre-requisites have been set accordingly. It is intended for experienced divers who wish to develop their skills generally, perhaps in preparation for further advanced training.

  • Photographers
  • Videographers
  • Marine biologists
  • Instructors
