Almost all my diving is solo. I usually dive by myself. Or with a unexperienced diver which is often more dangerous than solo. So I am not a big fan of the buddy system.
I agree with Max 100%. Monastery Beach is not a good site for solo diving. It is the most popular dangerous beach dive that I know of. The waves can be quick and intense with a sledge hammer effect. Not only would I not dive Monastery without a buddy, but it would have to be one. That was experienced in surf entries.
