Solo Diver: a hit with underwater photographers |
|
Looking for a unique course that will make you more independent self-sufficient diver?
Try SDI’s Solo Diver Specialty. SDI is the only agency to teach the skills and equipment configuration necessary to safely pursue solo diving.
Solo diving is an option for experienced sport divers engaged in certain activities. It is a program that 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 independent diving involves.
This course (1 – 2 days, 2 dives) is excellently suited for divers who prefer to dive without a buddy, like amateur and professional underwater photographers, marine scientists and divers who like to travel alone. This course is available if you are 21 years or older and if you are a healthy Advanced Open Water Diver with a minimum of 100 logged dives.
SDI (Scuba Diving International, the recreational diving courses sister of TDI (Technical Diving International), was created to offer entry-level programs for new divers.
SDI certifications are recognized and accepted by the Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC) an organization that promotes a set of minimum training standards that their member scuba training organizations – like SDI, PADI and SSI - agree to adhere to.
SDI recognizes the need for updated diver training that incorporates the use of modern diving technology. What does this mean for you, the SDI student? It means that you will use a personal dive computer throughout your in-water instruction and certification dives. Incorporating modern diving technology also means a more streamlined scuba course with more instruction time in the water, where it counts, instead of in the classroom. Diving with the latest, most sophisticated equipment means that you emerge as a scuba diver ready to confidently plunge in the 21st century.

Environmental News
|

Due to the long-term effects of an unprecedented level of use (by the diving industry) on the SS Thistlegorm, Rosalie Muller and many other wrecks in the Red Sea, an intervention of proper preservation management is more than necessary in order not to lose these valuable wrecks forever. In December 2007 HEPCA started work on the first wreck, SS Thistlegorm for the campaign Saving the Red Sea Wrecks.
During the intense conservation operation, the wreck acquired a complete buoy mooring system, separate descent and ascent lines and air-escape outlets to allow for pockets of disposed air from scuba tanks to escape. HEPCA finished work on the SS Thistlegorm early April 2008. |
