There are a limited number of this type of solo dives made every day in dive destinations around the globe, and the PADI Self Reliant Diver course offers training to help make this type of solo dive more secure by presenting standard guidelines and rules for planning and execution. But there are lots of other types of solo dives and these are more common and less obvious, but nevertheless cry out for the skills offered by an Self Reliant Diver course.
