I've been diving since last June. So far I have ~35 dives, ~19 hours. 75% of my dives are night/solo (lobster hunting).
If this is a troll, it's NOT very funny in light of the recent solo fatality.
If it's not a troll you really need to look long and hard at what you are doing... Read the account of the fatality of Sunday. As I understand the facts, he had 10 years of experience, he was solo lobster diving and dies in less than 10' of water.
Why in the world with as little experience as you have would you think you have the necessary experience to do 75% of your diving at night, when solo????
To the other's on this list that like to glorify solo diving and provide * How to Lists* read this guys post and next time you want to argue about why we always say that when you slip in the term solo is OK if experienced, I'll take this post as an opportunity to remind you that by glorifying solo you are going to wind up with guys like this soloing..
