Sad story. Rather than speculating on the cause, can we have a discussion on the pro's / cons of solo diving

Solo diving pros? Obviously in the case of extreme cave exploration, tight passage , no other way of doing it. It's then just a given.
In mainstream diving, Rec/Tec,Cave, not many that I can think of at all, anyone?

Bullshit Paul.

Everyone has a choice, if you cannot organise a safe partner for a dive, and feel that for safety it is important to have one, then simply don't do the dive. There is always another day.

If it is then your choiceto dive solo,  then accept the possible consequences of that descision.

I continually see buddy pairs, for all intents and puposes diving solo. Again this is personal choice, or more likely complacency creeping in, of which most of us are guilty of at times.

When accidents happen we then seem to focus again. Purely human nature but obviously something to guard against.

These comments on solo diving are not designed in any way to relate the events recently at Kilsbys. I have no imformation at all about what happened there and will not speculate.

Cheers

wow Rick, I was actually making a joke of the fact that I currently have no dive buddies.....for reasons not relevant to my snide jibe at myself....Rick you are a dumb ass


BUT!!! since we are all being serious I am a big advocate for buddy diving and good buddy contact....however on some dives I would be happy on my own

however sometime before FUJAK came about, me and some melb boys used to joke about the "UJACK system"  mate of mine started his own instructor buisnes called Ujack diving.....long before FUJACK arrived

the ujack system was a joke "fuck you Jack I'm alright....."   about shit buddy contact...   copy cats
