Hi,
I'm looking for a list of skills I should practice on if I'm serious regarding solo.
I've talked with someone about solo'ing and they suggested I'll ask an instructor to supervise my skills and help me go through it safely, like make a list of things I want to practice on and let them be there in case I need a regulator shoved into my mouth.
So far the only thing I thought about is getting an instructor to supervise about an hour of nightmare in the pool, surprising me with mask removals, regulator removals and even taking a #24 line and trying to tie me up and see if I can get it off me, or even closing my tank valve to see if I can switch to alternative air and reopen my valves.
Is this a good idea or very bad idea?
I didn't think through it completely yet as I'm afraid the instructor will get entangled also which will look really bad in the newspapers..
Anyone has a better idea of sorting those skills out? which additional skills should I aquire in order for me to be a safer diver (solo or not)?
Thanks for your time.
