Does anyone who has actually done solo dives from a kayak have any tips/tricks/advice to share about the specific challenges presented, gear selection and techniques.
Not having tried it yet, one of the biggest concern that comes to mind is securing your kayak while you dive: do you fly a dive flag, tow or anchor, are curious/reckless boaters and/or jet skiers a huge problem.
There are a bunch of other general concerns I have, but I would imagine that there are even more challenges/concerns I haven't thought of that an experienced solo kayak diver could shed some light on.
I was reading another thread about dive kayak selection, and did not want to get into the whole solo diving debate with the general population so I thought I would check in here.
Thanks in advance for any insights you may have (other than don't do it).
