I am wondering at what point in your diving careers did most of you begin to solo dive? After 100, 200 or ?# dives or experience level did it take for most of you to rationalize your ability to begin taking on this form of the sport? I'm sure their is a split camp on when, especially if you look at my diving stats, but I feel comfortable in the water and I never exceed what I am comfortable with in all undertakings. Without sounding cocky, I am pretty competent in whatever I do or I train until I am.
I have seen some post that an excuse of not being able to find a diving buddy is just that an excuse or laziness. Personally, I'd rather dive alone than with some stranger that I don't know their competency level. I'm not opposed to diving with a buddy, in fact I'd rather go with some of my pals, but there are scheduling issues for me. Bring on the criticism in my decision to begin this form of diving so early in my career.
