The assertion being made is that solo diving did not cause the accident described there
A buddy could have provided a solution or at least a calming level-headed companionship which most likely would have eased the underwater tension before paranoia, panic, rapid ascent, and multiple chamber rides occurred.
Or maybe a buddy wouldn't have had any effect whatsoever on the panicked diver.
Or, for those who are superstitious, to not be there?
Your post reminds me of an anecdotal story.
The old man was on his deathbed..the cancer having consumed his body, the doctors many attempts to save him ultimately proving futile...and it was determined that this would be his last day of life...
His wife, as usual was at his bedside...with his last remaining strength he leans forward and gestures to her to lean in close to him so he can whisper in her ear. Always the devoted and faithful wife, she leans in to hear his final words...
Man: "Honey, you've been by my side when I was in that car crash, you were there when I lost my job, you were present when my parents died, and you were by my side when someone stole all my money from my account... and you know what?"
Wife: "What?"
"I think you're bad luck."
