solo diving

Hello! I'm an SDI Solo Diver in NSW, Australia. Typically, my solo diving is at night, shore dive, max depth 7m, about 120min. As of recent, I'm starting to get concerned (maybe even slightly paranoid) about my increased risk of severe harm or death due to marine life (bites or stings) when...

Hello everyone. Hope you had amazing New Year's Eve and looking forward to diving in 2024. I've been reading many post here about an extra tank for solo diving, but all of them talk about alluminium tanks. I have a question about a steel tank so I thought I star a new thread. I am thinking of...

Hi I live in the Pacific Northwest, would like to start solo diving, and am in the early stages of gear set-up. I currently dive with an aluminum 80 and 30ft3 pony bottle on my back when diving with a buddy. This set-up I’ve used for years and feel fairly independent. I’m thinking of adding...

Hi All, I'm new on the board and recently started getting my equipment serviced/checked/replaced as needed to get myself back into diving. I and my equipment are all checked out in the pool, practiced my buoyancy and I'm ready for a nice little shore dive at Blue Heron Bridge, Riviera Beach, Fl...

Hi there! I'm a guy in my mid 30's looking to do a solo dive trip to Bonaire this November. I've searched around for info....it sounds like boat diving can be scarce/difficult to navigate at some resorts? I've logged about 50 dives, so not quite comfortable solo shore diving yet. If anyone has...

I decided to do some research on a topic that interests me. No, not because I have any desire to do so myself but I am curious about it once I began to read some articles concerning it, mishaps, close calls and even deaths. I’m curious what the #1 cause is of solo diving? OOA? Entanglenent?

Hi, I will be in Singapore for work late October this year, and due to the proximity to the Maldives (I live in NZ) I'm super keen to do a dive trip there. However I am getting the vibe that due to the currents there, it is often required to do quick descents. I have always had equalizing...
