There are many misconceptions about the PADI Self-Reliant Course, many people think it’s a course to dive solo and without a buddy. The Self-Reliant Course does teach you the precautions to take should you dive solo but it also teaches you how to dive more safely in a buddy team. The PADI Self-Reliant Course gives you all the information you need to dive solo safely and what extra safety precautions you should know and take. You will also learn about the extra equipment you need to ensure your safety on a solo dive. The course is done over 2 days and you will gain experience about the redundancy equipment you should carry and all of the safety information you need.

During the PADI Self Reliant Course you will learn many safety precautions you should take. When diving solo it’s very important you let somebody know when you will start your dive and when you will finish the dive. Also, to include in this information is the location and dive plan you have and that you will dive. You should also report when you are starting your dive and when you have finished so somebody knows you are safe and should you not come back at the time stated they can raise the alarm without delay. Do not change your dive plan unless you tell somebody as this will avoid any delays should a rescue have to take place.
