[scubahorse]

Do you dive solo? Anyone took a solo diving class? Thanks!

Took the class two years ago. Haven't actually done a solo dive yet.

Got a question abot the class. Did you dive solo for the class or w/ an instr? If you dove solo what were you suposed to do? If w/ an instr, What did they do w/ you.

Haven't taken the solo class but I dive solo all the time. I work nights and weekends so finding a buddy that has the same days off is tough. I always carry a 40cuft stage bottle, I have a lot of training and experience and my equipment is well maintained. So for me it's not a problem.

For the class we dove with an instructor. Here's the course outline, which pretty much covers it:

Yes

I'm sure *someone* has, but I have not.

I have dual redundant gear for most items, and I'm careful about where I go and what I do....I only dive solo on fairly tame 40' dives lasting 30 min or so.

And I was the only one there.

Did you pass or do you have to go for more solo dives before you're good enough to dive solo without an instructor?

 

[Jester]

Careful Mike!

People might think you have a sense of humor! LOL!

PADI has a Solo Diving Specialty?

I must have passed the class because in January 1,2004, I went to Clear Springs Scuba Park for the Polar Bear Dive with
out a scuba buddy. Air Temp. 67 and Bottom Temp. 54.
I solo dived for 31 minutes came back alive and well.

Where is my C-Card?
Requirement for Solo Diving Specialty 3 dives.

I need 2 more dives AH AH AH AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See you underwater,
