I wish the agencies would look at Solo Diving as an opportunity to >train better divers, as we all know that there are many instances where The trouble with that, is that as soon as a "mainstream" agency starts promoting solo diving "as something for truly experienced divers", there will allways be some bozo who will think he's advanced enough to solo dive. Trouble is, his last dive will most probably be solo, too. However, yes, in some cases, I'm sure solo diving could be safer. I would tend to think that a lone tethered diver with a dual independent air supply is far safer under ice than with a (also thethered) buddy (I am drawing on my own experience - the most "advanced"/"exotic" diving I've done is ice diving, both tethered and untethered - before flaming, ask for specifics first). --------------------------------------------------------------- Jesus may love everyone, but when this Jesus instills hatred in people to the point of having them kill each other for Jesus's sake, this could be a good reason to have Jesus outlawed. ---- Marc Dufour ---- [\] ---- http://www.cam.org/~mdufour ----
