Old SDM Article: "Buddy diving, only for the lonely?"

[markmud]

Around 1980 there was an article in Skin Diver Magazine entitled something like "Buddy Diving, only for the lonely?". I have tried searching for it but to no avail.
I do not remember the name of the author but met him on a dive trip once and he was a real character. Lots of interesting ideas.
Does anyone remember it? Is there a way to search old Skin Diver Mag articles?

Hi MrMitch,

I did not find any articles dating back to 1980.

Here is what I did find:
The Buddy System ~ Gear & Training ~ New Jersey Scuba Diving

Four different articles are contained in that series by four different authors.

I wonder if it was an editorial rather than an article? I pretty well gave up on Skin Diver Mag by this time since it became a travel promotion publication.
