After surfacing from my dive today I got the the typical lecture of how I am going to die because I did not have a buddy. The guy tried to threaten me with rules and regs then told me if I was his student he would have wrote to my certifying agency and had me decertified. Then he proceeded to tell me he was looking after my safety but dive solo if I like because he didn't care if i died or not (talk about an oximoron(spelling?)). I am aware everyone is entitled to an opinion but I am tired of people threatening me on the shore. He is assuming that because I dive solo I am incompitant and cant take care myself. I have over 50 hours underwater with no buddy and have not had anything close to resembling a problem. I guess only time will tell if my lack of buddies is going to kill me.
BTW the dive today was only 28 min because there was good amount of wind causing vis to be less than 5 ft if you stayed less than 30 ft. below 30 ft you couldn't see the bottom if your mask was touching it. I saw a 20 lb carp in the shallows and a couple large bass (one over 10lbs) otherwise uneventful. The water temp was 73 and probably somewhere around 68 - 70 at depth. max depth was 44 ft. dive site was lake amistad in del rio, tx.
