My first solo dive was "unanticipated" - we had carried out one dive already that day and my buddy had told me that he was up for another dive. He changed his mind. It donned on me that I could take my pony (with which I regularly practice) and carry out a dive on my own. As I settled in below the water my mind was clear and calm, and I recall thinking THIS is what I have been training for. The site was a lake with good vis, I was familiar with it, and I kept my depth above 40 ft. There were no other hazards.
What do I think of the buddy system? It is my preferred way to dive - there is safety in a good buddy and the dive, as well as pre- and post-dive, can be more enjoyable.
What do I think of solo diving? It is my preferred way to dive when I want peace and meditation.
