It's not an illegitimate question. The fact that most of the recent deaths in our area involved very experienced divers - people I presume who were used to solo diving and prepared themselves accordingly - should make the rest of us take a moment and reevaluate our dive practices. I'm not making a value judgment here, it's just that for me, it really points up that sometimes shit happens. Maybe if these folks were diving with a *qualified* dive buddy, someone that they trusted, they might still be here. It's hard to say, but it's something to think about.
