this is not a thread about solo diving
imho
serious diving in the UK waters will eventuly lead to a situatoin where you are alone, most experianced divers i know accept this and continue there dive alone when seperated from there buddy, this condicendes everything we have been taught
knowing of this aventuality i have activley dived my second (its only a 25m bumble dive) solo to prepair myself for the eventuality of being at 55m without a budy
now we all know the rules, but to end up at 50m without a buddy and without adequate preperation is stupid in my opinion
all the traning agenceys disagree with this practace yet to me i needed to prepair for this eventuality, and a solo 20/30 m dive gives enough realisum in a controled enviromrnt
there will never be a safety option as good as a budy, i can fully understand why all traning agenceys requre budy diving, yet, we live in the uk, and unless you and your buddy are fully alike, you will loose each other eventually
i once found myself at 44m alone relativley inexperianced, 0 m viz and in total blackness, i shite myself, actualy thaught i was going to die, not to be recomended
question
what is your opinion of solo diving?
