First off I DO NOT promote solo diving, however I feel strongly that those who will should be left to their own judgement (good or bad).
Just some observations based on prior postings:
The results of the un-scientific poll on diving habits of the readers indicate that the majority (85%) of diver/readers practice “solo” diving to some extent, (again the numbers are rough).
IF and this is a capital IF, this board is somewhat representative of SO. CAL divers based on numbers of dives, the safety (Fatality) record of these divers is less than those buddy diving.
