Hello Folks,
We just became lucky owners of a house on a lake, with excellent scuba diving right in our back yard.
My wife is not scuba diving at this point (although she is a rescue diver), as she is expecting.
I believe in the future, I will do basically 99% of my diving right there, but solo. Ie just hop in for 1 hr in the evenings.
1) I know its great diving there, but I have never been in that Lake
2) I feel confident about solo diving there, its not deep, emergency ascents are possible from anywhere in this lake.
Question: to play it safe, do people here in the forum have advice on specific procedures or equipment for me to get started exploring my new "home" site? What else do i need to keep in mind becoming a "solo" local?
I am looking for more solo specific advise, not generic diving tips. For example, I thought maybe I should print a written checklist that I religiously go through with a pen (to replace buddy check) before I hop in...
