You should read an article before you dismiss it. It was referring to people
who are "required" to take a buddy. These are the people who travel alone
and go on dive trips. The articles points out the fact that by assuming a
buddy, you become responsible for him. This means you may be sued if
something happens to your assigned (read stranger) buddy even though you
were not at fault.
The author suggests that if you don't want to accept a particular buddy, you
should be allowed to dive alone.
Remember, these "tour guide" magazines are for recreational diving only.
This means that they recommend a maximum depth of 100 feet with absolute
maximum of 130 feet.

You are so right. I don't read the industry garbage magazines (tour
brouchures) but I could not help but notice the header on the cover of a
recent large circulation magazine. " Is Buddy Diving Dead? " Pros and Cons
of
Buddy Diving. Jeez..... with "leaders" like this we don't need enemies. I
wonder why people are fed up? Mark
