Mark Powell's presentation: Solo Diving - Coming Out of the Closet

[r4e]

Mark Powell, the author of the book "Deco for Divers" gave an humorous presentation "Solo Diving - Coming Out of the Closet" at the London International Dive Show in April 2012. In the 48 minute presentation he ponders about how common solo diving is, its relative safety and its insurance aspects.

Reminds me of the time long ago I lived and worked in Abu Dhabi. They then used a lot of black ink on imported magazines.

It could be that the title triggers automatically a filter though.

May have to watch this after I finish diving this weekend... solo. Have dived solo since my very first time on SCUBA in 1961-62. Incident rate with pick-up buddies 17X that of when I'm diving solo. Of course I dive with redundancy and don't advocate that others dive solo since the most important factor IMHO is knowing how one responds to an emergency.
