Or are you thinking about diving on your own but don’t how to go about it? Let us teach you with the Self Reliant Diver specialty.

Although diving with a buddy is the norm, there are reasons for an experienced diver to develop self-reliance and independence while diving. Learning to carry out dives without a partner can make you a stronger diver in most situations.

With proper training, equipment and the right attitude to accept the risks involved in independent diving, an experienced diver can responsibly engage in dives without a buddy.
