I was wondering about feed back from anyone that has taken this course or possibly teaches the course
I have been certified about 5 years now I have about 700 dives completed out of which about 75% of them are solo dives. I have been trained paidi through rescue except my nitrox is from TDI. I have taken the PSD paid course and am a active PSD with our local Fire Dept. I understand self rescue and redundant life support systems. I am a cold water diver with all but 25 of my dives being in Alaska Waters, I also dive at least once a week but most commonly multiple days each week
What i am wondering about is will i likely walk out after taking the Padi Self Reliant Diver course
thinking wow that had some good information to add to my knowledge / skill base
OR
will it be wow what a waste of my money.
I understand about how the person teaching the course can control how well the course comes off what i want to know is about the standards that are taught for the class
I am very comfortable in the water in all kinds of environments but i also like to continue to learn and so I am hoping that this might be a good course to have more reasons besides so that the Captain on a occasional charter trip does not have kittens over the thought of me being interested in a solo dive depending on buddies that are available
