Unfortunately, when it comes to scuba retail, something does not make sense is usually not just a communications problem.

Dive Friends Bonaire has corrected their communication with regard to requiring Rescue Diver prior to taking their Self-Reliant Diver course
I wrote:
PADI prerequisites for Self-Reliant Diver are 18 years old, Advanced Open Water, and 100 dives. Please confirm that you require Rescue Diver to take the course with you. If yes, is this an additional prerequisite that DFB has added to the PADI standards?
DFB replied:
My apologies. Thank you for catching my mistake. The pre-requisite for the new Self Reliant course is indeed advanced open water. I have updated my responses which were based on a previous version of the course that we offered.

They're being hard on her not because of the mistake about needing a rescue cert, but because she covered it up with what's almost certainly a lie about that being a requirement for a solo class they previously offered.

I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt for promptly correcting the error regarding the requirement for Rescue certification when it was pointed out to her 
. She may have been using inaccurate response templates that were previously written. After 130 posts, I think this topic has pretty much been wrapped up
1) Dive Friends Bonaire requires solo cert to do solo shore dives
2) They accept SDI and PADI, teach only PADI
3) Their prerequisites for Self-Reliant Diver are same as PADI's
4) They rent pony tanks at a reasonable rate
I'm looking forward to my own return to Bonaire
Good diving, Craig
