Not my type, a little too wide across the beam. And she wears a poodle jacket and split fins, it would never work.

Big Eustachian tubes would be good too. I love my wife, but damn, she's so slow clearing....
Her "beam" is quite shapely though and she does have very good trim. (I was her Instructor, but that's a thread all in itself...

What usually happens to me is I head out on a local boat without a buddy, and without fail another diver, usually a fairly new one, also alone, strikes up the courage to ask me if I have a buddy and if not would I mind buddying with them. When I say, no thanks, I'm soloing today, they look rejected and hurt with this "Oh so I am not good enough for you" look. Suddenly there is this tension in the air. I have a solo card, so no issues with the boat Captain or crew if I want to solo, but I can tell they would rather I be a team player and buddy up with the newbie there alone as it would make everyone's job easier. So no, no direct "youre gonna die, you can't do that, PADI says you can't" reaction, but more of a dive boat pariah reaction. I'm considering taking a camera and or spear just so I can say I'm hunting or shooting video as it is somehow more acceptable if you have a reason to solo other than you would rather dive alone.
This sounds like something out of one of my dive logs. Sometimes I will go out on a "club" dive where I know most of the divers. Everyone is buddying up on the boat. When they get to me (and most know I almost always dive solo), and I say that I am diving solo, I immediately get the pariah look, but it gets worse. As everyone is performing buddy check, inevitably someone will want to check the valves on my manifold (I dive doubles). I politely ask them to please not touch my valves. Now I have graduated from pariah to disease carrying land shark.
I was at a swamp diver campout a couple of weeks ago. Late Friday night as everyone was hanging around the campfire drinking beer, I was gearing up in the dark. A fairly new diver came over to look at my gear. It didn't occur to him that I didn't have a buddy until I started walking to the water. The night was dark and the water looked black from the surface. It wasn't until I reached the water that it dawned on him that I didn't have a buddy. He stopped me and asked if I was going in that dark water by myself. The look on his face was priceless.
