PADI® Self Reliant Diver Specialty: Enjoy Solo Diving!

2 days minimum | 3 Open Water Dives

 

A step into independent diving

independent-diver-self-reliant-diver-specialty

This course is an intro to self-reliant diving. It helps experienced divers or dive professionals develop their techniques, knowledge, and skills to rely on themselves, whether or not they are diving with someone.

Diving without a partner requires diligence, experience, proper mental discipline, attitude, and the ability to plan for and apply the specialized techniques and gear needed to engage in solo diving.

It is not a course for everyone and certainly not one to be taken lightly, so the prerequisites have to be taken seriously.

IMPORTANT! -Flying after Diving

When planning your diving trip and your journey toward your destinations, always remember that you must not fly directly after scuba diving. It accentuates the risk of having decompression sickness.

diver-do-not-fly-for-18-hours-after-diving

The PADI guidelines are to NOT FLY during a 12 hours interval after a single dive and 18 hours after multiple dives. As often when it comes to scuba diving, take a conservative approach to safety, and whenever possible, avoid flying the next 24 hours after a dive.

If you intend to do multiple dives on different days during your trip, consider buying your own dive computer, as it will calculate the optimal time to fly based on your diving history.

Even more than other outdoor sports, diving is weather- and sea-dependent. Be aware that some sites might be inaccessible on certain days and that diving trips might be canceled due to dangerous conditions.

Luckily, Thailand has a fantastic climate almost all year round and this happens very rarely.
