Walt Starker did mine.Can someone recommend a dive op on Bonaire that provides SDI Solo diver training? Thanks in advance.
Sounds great. Do you rent her out? Mine would forget and I'd have to hitchhike or hijack a roaming donkeyI've got mine but no need for it on Bonaire. Nobody is going to say squat to you if you dive solo. I do it several times while there. The wife may lay out on the beach or hang out and take pictures or whatever. I tell her to come back in 90 min. and pick me up.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I can tell, in most of the Caribbean, most dive ops either don't care whether you solo dive, or won't let you use their gear or facilities or whatever for solo diving, regardless of whether you have a solo cert from SDI.
Does this mesh with the experience of others?
That much said, I will call around until I find a Dive Op that does allow it. In that way I am furthering the cause of Solo diving by essentially boycotting those Ops that do not respect or honor the certification.
