Build the skills to dive solo or as a more self-sufficient buddy with the PADI Self-Reliant Diver specialty in Pondicherry. On the Bay of Bengal's reefs and structures you'll learn redundancy and self-rescue, valuable for technical progression and underwater photography around sites like the Aravind Wall.
PADI's Self-Reliant Diver specialty requires 100 logged dives, focuses on redundancy and self-sufficiency, follows the Project AWARE ethic and issues a lifetime PADI specialty card.
Self-Reliant training uses Pondicherry's reef and deeper Bay of Bengal sites, from shallow structures to the 30m Aravind Wall. Calm Oct-May seas and 27-30C water create the controlled conditions in which to safely rehearse redundancy and independent problem-solving.
