Self Reliant Diver - PADI -VS- IANTD
I have recently completed both the PADI and the IANTD ‘Self reliant’ Diver courses.
Whilst both courses do, of course, have their merits it must be said that the PADI course is far more in-depth than the IANTD course.
The IANTD course seems to focus heavily on ‘shut-down’ drills. Whilst the PADI course goes in to much more detail as far as self reliant diving is concerned.
For example, navigation, bail-out procedures, lost mask scenario are just a few examples that are covered in the PADI course that are not included in the IANTD course.
If I had to choose between the two... then the PADI course is by far the better.
