PADI Self-Reliant Diver Specialty Course on Koh Phangan

PADI Self-Reliant Diver Specialty

PADI Self-Reliant Diver Specialty Course on Koh Phangan Island allows you to experience a completely different philosophy of planning and diving. The PADI System of diver education trains divers to use the
buddy system based on its proven benefit to diving, divers and dive safety. Photographers, videographers, dive leaders and others will find the principles of self-reliant diving useful when diving as a group, or otherwise when choosing to dive without a partner. Experienced divers who typically dive with a partner will find the self-reliant diver course bolsters their skill and confidence when diving with unknown partners or those less experienced. Diving without a partner requires mental discipline as well as the right attitude and equipment. 
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 they are diving with a partner, including:

  • The value and application of the buddy system
  • The philosophy of, and motivation for, diving without a partner
  • Potential risks of diving alone, and how to manage those risks
  • The value of equipment redundancy and what back-up equipment is needed
  • Dive planning and gas management
