That is correct. It is a new standard specialty. Unfortunately there is no student manual.If I'm not mistaken, Padi used to classify the Self Reliant Diver speciality as a distinctive speciality but has recently reclassified it as a core speciality. I expect more and more divers will carry pony bottles as more divers become self reliant.
