I solo dive a lot. I actually took a class. The minimum requirements to even take the class was 100 dives. Even at 100 dive many people are not ready to take on that responsibility. The four things that immediately come to mind about solo diving is a redundant air supply such as a pony (lets not debate the spare air vs. pony), a redundant flotation system such as a dry suit, and multiple cutting instruments especially in areas with fishing line dangers ( I dive leg, waist and shoulder) , and surfacing with 1000 pounds vice 500. I have been tangled in fishing line on a solo dive. I have also had to partially remove my BC underwater on a solo dive. So unless you are ready to assume all the risks I would not do it and even if you are ready to assume the risks, I think you should think twice about it, and have a whole lot of dives under your belt.
