A recent issue of Rodale's Scuba Diving magazine has an editorial by a PADI official defending the buddy system. He makes this statement: "...a few experienced misanthropic solo divers..." Does this guy really believe that we (way more than a few) dive independently because we dislike our fellow divers? That's a negative attitude I've never heard before and it's totally inaccurate. We love all of you!
