PADI Self Reliant Diver Speciality Course
The
purpose of the Self-Reliant Diver specialty course is to recognise and accept
the role of the buddy system and its contributions to diver safety while
identifying and developing self-reliance and independence while diving.
There are two reasons for an experienced diver to take the Self-Reliant
diver course:
•To develop the skills of planning and carrying out dives without a partner when preferred or necessary.
•To sharpen skills of diving self-reliance, making the diver a stronger partner in a dive pair or team.
This course covers when diving alone may be applicable, and the need to compensate for those situations, including dive planning, life support system readiness, adaptive training, equipment and responsibility.
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. The course would be ideally suited to: -
• Photographers
• Videographers
• Divemasters
• Divers considering Divemaster training
• Potential technical divers
What You'll Learn
This course is an introduction to self-reliant diving that helps student divers develop the skills, knowledge and techniques necessary to rely on themselves first, whether or not they are diving with a partner, including:
• The value and application of the buddy system.
• The philosophy of, and motivation for, diving without a partner.
• Potential risks of diving alone, and how to manage those risks.
• The value of equipment redundancy and what back-up equipment is needed.
• Dive planning and gas management.
As this is aimed at the already experienced diver it is taken as read that you will already be in possession of appropriate active-diver equipment, including full set of dive kit, pony bottle set or stage cylinder*, DSMB and reel, spare mask, line cutter or knife, dive computer and audible signalling device.
*A Pony bottle set or stage cylinder can be supplied if required*
