I did come up with one. A depth gauge and timer is used to control your ascent rate. But you claim that with your skill and experience these tools are inappropriate.
I'm not sure they would be willing to dive with you, hence my post. By the way solo is only safer if the other diver is a liability.
A depth gauge and timer is used to control your ascent rate, but if other tools are available like an ascent line with pre-marked depths/distances, as explained, this could be a more precise tool than Dive Computer/Bottom Timer. Skills and experience also play their part.
As to "Solo," some caves (or sections of the cave) can only be entered "Solo" for safety considerations, and any one diver in caves is a potential liability for the other. The more divers, the greater the potential liability in caves (my opinion).
