Hmm... Is it worth considering that pool diving without a buddy may very well be a gateway drug to solo diving? Next step, diving a spring without a buddy, then some shore dives, and next thing you know, you're diving six mixes as you solo deep into caves with wrecks on top of them... I hope I learn when to say when before I get there -- I don't particularly like closely confined spaces.
(Incidentally, the pool I dive (solo) at my parents' place has one of the non-chlorine chemical regimens. It is a lot easier on the eyes, and it doesn't bleach fabric at all, so I would imagine it's much better on my gear. I still rinse everything very thoroughly after every pool dive.)
