If you were a dive pro (divemaster, ass't instructor, instructor) and your shop asked you to publicize and host some dive days at your local lake/quarry/river as a way of encouraging certified (recreational) open water divers to dive locally, would you have any questions for divers (recreational training and kit, no redundant sources or other special gear) who showed up in response to that invitaion without a buddy and planned to dive solo? Would you offer them any advice? Would you feel that you had any special liability in their case?
And what would be your short answer for newly-certified divers who ask questions about the soloers, never having seen anything but buddy and group dives?
I've dealt with this before but I'm looking to improve on my approach.
This is in regard to divers with OWD certs, perhaps some specialty certs, using recreational gear (no backups).
Appreciate your help in thinking about this,
Bryan
