We realize that many divers dive by themselves, but this in no way makes them "solo divers". They are neither trained nor knowledgable in the hazards to which they may be exposing themselves. The SDI Solo Diving course examines the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for planning and 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.

Prerequisites: Minimum of 100 logged dives Advanced Diver certification or equivalent Signed Medical Waiver 21 years of age

Required Equipment: Scuba cylinder with pony bottle setup for backup or Scuba cylinder with H-valve with redundant regulator or Twin cylinder setup with isolation manifold and two regulators Two complete cold-water ready regulators Depth gauge & automatic bottom timer (or computer) Backup depth gauge/bottom timer (or computer) Exposure suit adequate for the local environment Lift bag and reel (minimum 25 lb. lift bag)

Course Requirements 6-8 hours classroom time 200 yard surface swim in full scuba gear A Minimum of 2 open water dives (most divers require 4 or more dives)

The Underwater Connection wants to provide you with in-depth and personal training so that you can be the safest, most knowledgable diver possible.

The SDI Solo Diver Program is not for everyone....we do not accept all candidates.
