"i definitely agree w/you there! = : D
if i and my buddy each have our own redundant
air supply, then we can rely more on ourselves
and less on others to help us in the immediacy
of a situation."
We agree then that both redundant air together with buddy diving is safer than solo, no redundant air? This could be a first for me on the BBS that someone agrees with me. Some on the BBS advocate buddy diving, every dive agency advocates buddy diving because it's a good idea and probably safer. It can be more enjoyable than diving solo.
"however, surprisingly enough, some on this bbs keep advocating complete and utter reliance on a buddy,"
I haven't heard that one yet, that would be hard to understand and justify.
