As the elder poster boy for independent, aka solo, diving, let me add my two bits.
Yes, Mike, the solo certification pitch and its ridiculous requirements is just that: ridiculous. The only positive that could possibly result from such madness is improved self-rescue skills and improved self-confidence should a buddy team become separated. But that's the ONLY potentially positive result. It's a lot like legalizing drugs: to legalize is to promote and encourage.
