I don't think solo diving should be encouraged. I see posts on here, should I solo dive, how do I know if I'm ready to solo dive, these don't indicate someone ready to solo dive. If you have to ask you're not ready. They taught the buddy system at camp for swimming, if you get in trouble there is some one there. If you get in trouble solo diving there is no one there to help. Tangled, stung by a man o war, caught with the current, bit by a shark-yeah I know they only taste, cramps, heart attack- there's no one there. You're on your own.
That said, 90% of my diving is solo
