Of course I disagree with the sticky as it makes no sense. I also think I conduct myself in such a way on the board that those who matter know that I disagree from an honest and thoughtful POV (even if they differ in their views).
If I want to know if DIR is for me I feel the proper place to ask is the DIR sub forum.
If I want to know if tech diving is for me I feel the proper place to ask is the tech sub forums.
If I want to know if vintage dive is for me I believe the proper place to ask is the vintage sub forum
etc...
I believe that those people who partake in an activity are the ones who will give the more valid opinions.
What is so unique about solo diving that one cannot even ask about it in the forum designated for its purpose? Talk about a taboo subject. Is it that solo divers cannot be trusted to give the safe response? Is it that people who do not solo are in a better position to discuss the topic sensibly?
I also believe that one can get good answers in the general forums but one must separate a lot of wheat from the chaff. For someone who doesn't have experience already, how are they supposed to decide which is which?
Just because the sticky says something we need not blindly obey. If you were into that sort of thing you wouldn't solo dive in the first place... Or did someone in a position of authority tell you it was OK to solo dive?
