Han solo
I often end up 'solo' whilst filming or photographic whatever it is i'm diving on/in. If i intentionaly plan to dive solo, personally i feel comfortable if the depth is reasonable (up to 20m ish), conditions are favourable (i.e. calm, no appreciable current), and i know the site well. That my two penneth.

cheers

I've given this some thought, over the years, and I can't really see what's wrong with this ...... so long as it is not out in the shipping lanes .......... and you know how to tie knots and the rope is in good nick ....... ?

It's a bit of a risk but .................?

At last, a valid reason to tell SWMBO I need to buy an inflatable lady friend!



Actually I might buy two so I can boast of a 3 in a bed .............

You can buy inflatable ones just about everywhere, but I can't find them on the web...

So call in before you go over the side. Promise a call back when you get back aboard. At least then, if something goes wrong and you can't get back to the boat, you know somebody knows you are in the water and where.
