The Solo Diver Certification Course at Eco Dive Center teaches
experienced divers the procedures 
for
diving safe independent of a dive partner. The dive community realizes that many divers dive by
themselves, but this in no way makes them a "solo diver". They're
neither trained nor knowledgeable in the hazards to which they may be
exposing themselves to. Our Solo Diver Course examines the benefits,
hazards, and procedures for conducting solo
dives. Completing this course empowers you with specific knowledge,
enabling you to make a sound risk analysis when engaging in this type of
diving.
This course also strengthens your buddy team skills by stressing dive
planning, personal limitations, accident prevention as well as the
benefits, potential hazards and proper procedures of diving solo. In the Solo Diver Course you will also learn the the additional equipment
required for solo diving, and the proper configuration of that
equipment. This course is ideally suited to underwater photography and underwater video divers.
The SDI Solo Diver Course is not suitable for every diver because
divers must be willing to make the necessary commitment to train and
equip themselves to manage the added risks that solo diving involves.
