Self Reliant Diver.
With proper training, equipment and the right attitude to accept the risks involved in independent diving, an experience diver can responsibly engage in dives without a buddy. Self-reliant diving is an adventure activity that is not for everyone, but does have its place. If you have the mental discipline and commitment to learn and follow self-reliant diving techniques, you'll bolster your skills and confidence when diving alone, in a dive pair or as part of a team.
Most of our PADI Speciality courses are very personal experiences often on a one-to-one basis with one of our award-winning team, if a suitable date isn’t shown below, please call the office on 01243 202200 to discuss arranging a suitable date.
