The purpose for Self-Reliant Diver Specialty course

The purpose of the Self-Reliant Diver Specialty course is to recognize and accept the role of the buddy system and its contributions to diver safety while identifying and developing self-reliance and independence while diving. There are two reasons for an experienced diver to take the Self-Reliant Diver Specialty course:

* To develop the skills of planning and carrying out dives without a partner when preferred or necessary.
* To sharpen skills of diving self-reliance, making the diver a stronger partner in a dive pair or team.

This course covers when diving alone may be applicable, and the need to compensate for those situations, including dive planning, life support system readiness, adaptive training, equipment and responsibility. This course is an introduction to self-reliant diving that helps student divers develop the skills, knowledge and techniques necessary to rely on themselves first, whether or not the are diving with a partner, including: * The value and application of the buddy system. * The philosophy of, and motivation for, diving without a partner.
