I never start out alone but if my buddy runs low on air and we are either very near the boat or doing a drift I will see him/her to the up line and continue on my own although somewhat more conservatively.

Solo Diving isn't any riskier than buddy diving....... unless you're a relatively new diver, in which case, you need a knowledgeable dive buddy to show You the way.
TDI now offers a course, and grants certifications in Solo Diving.

I really get a kick out of these guys that get in the water twice a year with a million danglies and a backup reg dragging in the sand, but, that doesn't stop them from jumping sreacming about solo diving being reckless.

My response is similar --- I prefer to dive with a buddy; believe that buddy diving is generally safer than solo; but will still ocassionally do solo dives after due considerations of the overall risk of the dive.

That's not saying a whole lot...TDI is not exactly an authority on the subject of diving.
