Solo Diving...yes or no
    This subject is asked of me many times, can I dive solo or not and is PADI going to offer a specialty for solo diving?  Some divers are already diving solo (meaning by themselves) and when is this happening? Going up to a lake with the family but you are the only diver, so you go diving by yourself.  Spearfishing, game taking or photography, you may start out with a buddy but many times end up solo diving.  Low visibility diving like what we have here, you get separated from your buddy an end up diving solo for maybe a short period of time.  Divers from many years ago it was not uncommon to dive solo it was no big deal.  Times have changed and diving is safer then in the past; gear, education, techniques, divers safety standards (one of them buddy diving) has made this possible.  So think about it first before considering solo diving, there is a reason we have dive buddies and remember your dive buddy is only as good as what guidelines you both follow.
If you wish let me hear your opinion on this, do you agree or disagree and WHY?
