In solo diving you plan for the expected and the assumption of what to expect. You plan for that of what you know and what you believe you know.
You cannot plan for what you do not know and it is here that you either accept the risk to or not to make the dive.
I ask solo students what do they expect will occur on the dive and what do they expect could occur on the dive. I ask them to come up with three worst case scenarios and what they can do to mitigate the risks by what if-ing them. Then I ask them what do they not know going into this dive It is here we usually have silence becasue they often do not think fully about the human equation
There are Five Pillars to solo diving: (In no particualar order)
The diver's equipment, The diver's mind set, The diver's physical condition, The diving environment, The Dive Plan
