SDI\u2019s Solo Diving is the practice of self reliant scuba diving without a \u201cdive buddy.\u201dSolo diving, once considered technical diving and discouraged by most certification agencies, is now seen by many experienced divers and some certification agencies as an acceptable practice for those divers suitably trained and experienced. Rather than relying on the traditional buddy diving safety system, solo divers should be skilled in self-sufficiency and willing to take responsibility for their own safety while diving.<\/p>\r\n<p>Being one of SDI\u2019s most popular courses, the Solo Diver course stresses proper dive planning, personal limitations, and accident prevention, as well as the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for diving solo. You will also learn the additional equipment that is required for solo diving including its proper usage and assembly. This is the perfect course for underwater photography and underwater video divers as well as those diving with their children or buddies that may not be very experienced in scuba diving.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 31\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<h3 class=\"column\">Course prerequisites:<\/h3>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 31\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Minimum age 21<\/li>\r\n<li>Certified SDI Advanced Diver or equivalent<\/li>\r\n<li>Provide proof of 100 logged dives<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">What you can expect to learn<\/h3>\r\n<p><strong>The SDI Solo Diver course takes an in-depth look at all of the following and more:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Why solo dive?<\/li>\r\n<li>History of buddy diving<\/li>\r\n<li>Pros and cons of buddy diving and solo diving<\/li>\r\n<li>Legal liability assumed by buddy diving<\/li>\r\n<li>How to use the SDI Solo Diving waiver and release<\/li>\r\n<li>Who must solo dive?<\/li>\r\n<li>The solo diving mentality<\/li>\r\n<li>When not to solo dive<\/li>\r\n<li>Equipment for solo diving<\/li>\r\n<li>Planning and conducting a solo dive<\/li>\r\n<li>Navigation<\/li>\r\n<li>Management of solo diving emergencies<\/li>\r\n<li>Review the SDI Solo Diver Liability Release and Express Assumption of Risk Agreement Form<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><strong>Some of the required skills you will have to demonstrate include all of the following and more:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>200 metres\/600 feet surface swim in full scuba equipment, configured for local diving conditions; must be non-stop and performed in an open water environment<\/li>\r\n<li>Demonstrate adequate pre-dive planning<\/li>\r\n<li>Plan dive limits based on personal air consumption rate<\/li>\r\n<li>Plan exact dive<\/li>\r\n<li>Properly execute the planned dive within all predetermined limits<\/li>\r\n<li>Equipment configuration appropriate for solo diving<\/li>\r\n<li>Proper descent\/ascent rates<\/li>\r\n<li>Proper safety stop procedures<\/li>\r\n<li>Monitoring of decompression status equipment; tables, computers, equipment, etc.<\/li>\r\n<li>Navigation skills \u2013 demonstrate proficiency of navigation with compass<\/li>\r\n<li>Demonstrate emergency change over to redundant air supply (not to exceed 30 metres\/100 feet)<\/li>\r\n<li>Deploy surface marker buoy (SMB)<\/li>\r\n<li>Use of audible signaling device<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Pricing:<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"row \"><div class=\"col-sm-6 \"><table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Solo Diver<\/td>\r\n<td>\u20ac380,00<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 \"><a href=\"\/contact\/\" title=\"Want to Know More?
