Indepth self sufficiency diver - solo Diver

We realize that many divers dive by themselves, but this in no way makes them "solo divers Self sufficiency divers "

One of InDepth most popular courses, the Self sufficiency - solo diver program teaches experienced recreational divers how to safely dive independently of a dive buddy. The course stresses proper dive planning and accident prevention and in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for diving solo.

With experience divers tend to become more focused on personal dive goals and unless buddy teams are well matched the buddy system becomes a burden rather than a complimentary activity. The evolution of modern dive equipment allows for sufficient safeguards for redundancy to effectively negate any real need for a dive partner.

Neptune Fairtex, conveniently conduct the classroom, pool and ocean diving components of this two day course. The Solo Diver course concentrates on developing independent skills to manage dive planning and contingences, self rescue techniques and other elements of practical diving needed to achieve the freedom and independences confident divers seek.

The self sufficiency - solo diver course is perfect for underwater photographers, marine biologists, technical and recreational divers who have a desire to become more independent in the water.
