An old Navy buddy who ran a dive boat in Monterey for years said it best:
“If you have to ask if you are qualified to dive solo, you're not.”
Note that “Certified” is not the same as “Qualified”, or vice-versa.
Similar to my credo "If you have to ask if you're ready to solo dive you're probably not". I know I didn't ask anybody, of course there was nobody to ask or I would have ask if they wanted to dive! Sometimes I hope these thread have convinced certain posters to wait longer and dive more.
