Verbal gymnastics or not, it's clear that a few
of them did have buddies that weren't around when
they were needed. Those weren't planned solo dives;
in fact they were divers that indicated a problem and
left (were left by) their buddies to surface.
Again, this points exactly to why buddy diving by
itself guarantees nothing. If the buddy pair isn't
diving as a team, they might as well be separate.
