Description
Become a self-reliant diver when you take this specialty diving course in Coron, Palawan. This solo diver course from the Skylodge Resort Dive Shop is perfect for those who already have their Open Water Diving Certification but want to try diving by themselves. This Palawan diving package already comes with three open water dives, transfers from the dive shop to the boat, the assistance of an instructor, a course book, the use of an equipment set and tank, drinks, and lunch.
Make sure that you schedule this course at least 24 hours before and after any inbound or outbound flight. On the day of your course, head to the Skylodge Resort Dive Shop to begin. Your course is scheduled to start at 8 AM. While diving with a buddy is considered the norm, solo or self-reliant diving has its advantages. This Solo Diving Specialty Course will prepare you for the risks involved, boost your confidence to dive alone, and sharpen your mental discipline.
From the dive shop, you will head to the port to board a boat that will bring you to the dive sites in Coron. Depending on the weather, some of Coron’s famous wreck dive sites may be included in your itinerary. You will be able to solo dive at a maximum depth of 18 meters.
You will learn how to plan and execute a solo dive, how to respond should you have equipment problems underwater, and other skills that you would need to ensure a safe and hassle-free dive by yourself.
In between dives, you can enjoy lunch and drinks, as you’ll need the energy to last you until the end of the course, which is around 6 PM.
Learn the techniques you need to apply when going on a solo dive with this Coron diving package. Check the availability by choosing a date.
