From your example, I do not know what will happen on a calm day in the water. The fact that you are going underprepared is a liability that the Solo Diver Should not responsibly undertake.
Please describe a possible scenario for that dive where my safety would require a light. Please describe a possible scenario for that dive where a failure of the poodle jacket will be catastrophic and could have been avoided my use of a BP/w. Please describe a possible scenario for that dive where I would die because I was not wearing a drysuit.
Then tell me why if my air fails and my redundant air also fails I can't just do a CESA.
Please also acknowledge the fact that redundant everything, thousands of dives under your belt, and the best training available does not remove all risk.

Having taken the course I can tell you it has
SDI Lists what is required, it is more than a Stage Bottle

Its not worth a argument.
Anyways. We both dive in Canada
Please provide a reference for the changes. If you are in fact correct I will state for the record that I consider the course to be providing erroneous and misleading information. I do not believe this to be the case.
Not all my diving is in Canada, I have never used a drysuit. I do not take lights on every dive. I have a BP/W, but I also have a BCD.
I take the equipment appropriate for the dive.
