Okay, I filled out the survey. In essence, I pointed out that redundancy is the key to safety when working in a hostile environment. A well-trained buddy is a thinking piece of redundant safety equipment.
I also included a comment to the effect that solo diving realistically should not, and cannot be banned. Diving, after all, is intelligent risk-taking. As Tom Mount has famously said: "Once properly informed of the risks, any adult should be free to risk himself as he chooses." (Pronoun in the generic sense.) I fully agree with his comment.
