I've been solo diving a lot lately. Did a couple of dives last weekend as it was looking like bad weather so people wussed out, or they had Father's Day stuff to go to. In the end I had awesome visibility (12m) and very calm conditions 
And saw HEAPS of things. I was actually trying out some new thermals to go with my new drysuit, and they were so warm I ended up doing two hours in 10C/50F water Hands were toast by the end of it though 
Also did a night dive during the week solo, again unexpected good conditions and a shore dive yesterday which was kind of solo. A friend was teaching a friend OW, so I came along and jumped in with them but ended off heading off on my own so they could do skills.
I took some photos:
Cute squid in defensive mode
Tassled Anglerfish - these are not often spotted as they have awesome camouflaged. Part of the reason I did a two hour dive was just mostly looking for one!
I have also never seen one swim, they just stick to pylons so here is my first swimming tangler:

Attacking scallop, I think they are so cute when they swim
Cute crab

Didn't solo at the weekend, dived 12m in poor vis (1m) with husband didn;t take the camera which meant we saw some georgeos inachus crabs & the cutest cuttlefish you ever did see.
those queenie scallops are wonderful, one of my favourite dives you can guarantee that hoards will be dancing around looking like demented false teeth.

No solo diving for a while 
Today I was busy poking myself in the eyeballs to improve my vision...
My eyes is probably gonna be poked out of the eyesocket before I get the hang of those damn contact lenses

I believe that as long as you are poking your own eye out, that still qualifies as a solo dive. If you had someone else poking you, you would need to leave this thread.
Just watching my wife put her contacts in makes me throw-up in my mouth a little bit. I think I would rather wander about in a fog...
Good luck with that skill. PADI probably has a course in it if you need help.

PADI Contact Lens Diver? Gotta look into that oneI believe that as long as you are poking your own eye out, that still qualifies as a solo dive. If you had someone else poking you, you would need to leave this thread.
