True, these are the best dives I ever did. Nothing in diving is better than sharing it with a good friend.For me there is nothing more enjoyable than sharing the experience of a memorable dive with a close friend, it’s a moment never forgotten.
That's why I always asume I'am diving solo. I do not rely on someone else to come to the rescue, not even when I dive with others except when diving in a trained team. I do expect to help some other diver during these dives. It's a mindset I feel comfortable with.But when I’m alone in the water I’m totally focused on every little thing around me, I’m sharper ,I’ll plan the dive meticulously and go over it in my head down to the last detail. I don’t know which is safer but there is a degree of complacency with more people in the water.
Agree, I don't judge other divers how they want to dive.Every diver has to make her/his own decision on this. I respect that decision no matter what, as long as they respect my decision.I think it is down to the individual divers.
