Be prepared and self sufficent, be self reliant
Although diving with a buddy is normal, there are reasons for an experienced diver to develop self-reliance and independence while diving.
Learning to dive without a buddy can make you a stronger diver in most dive 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.
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.
Independent diving is about total focus and confidence in yourself to plan and deal with any potential emergency scenarios
.
Be safe and independent with the Independent Diving Course.
