Mo2vation once bubbled...
I dive for the serenity and the peace that illudes me topside. I dive for the freedom of floating, of moving in slow motion. I dive for the tactile sensation of the water breezing past me, squeezing me, caressing me. The buddy is just a mobile bail-out - and often, less than that.

That is the reason why a lot of times I prefer solo dives. It's hard to explain to a buddy underwater why all you want to do is hover motionless for ten minutes without moving a muscle, where the only sensory input is the sound of your breathing.
No buddy to keep an eye on, no concern of deviating from the dive plan, best is when there are no divers around at all and it's just you surrounded by a very hostile, beautiful, serene environment.
of course the risks are there but I guess everyone who dives is already excepting a certain innate risk.
