We at Neptune realize that many divers dive by themselves,
but this in no way makes them solo divers-Self sufficiency divers,
however we can make them "Self Reliant Divers".
One of SDI-PSA 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 Self Reliant Diver.
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, conveniently conduct the classroom, pool and
ocean diving components of this two day course. Self Sufficiency
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 course is perfect for
underwater photographers, marine biologists, technical and
recreational divers who have a desire to become more
independent in the water as a "Self Sufficiency Diver".
