No more Solo diving at Whitestar...

*sigh*

used to be permitted if you had the appropriate certification, but some novice diver (WITH at least 1 buddy!) gets themselves killed in a nearby quarry and now My dive options get limited...

just another example of another incremental move towards the nanny State... protecting us from ourselves, those who cant/wont take responsibility for their own actions and so the rest of us are penalized...

wish I'da know the gutless wonders on the Park Board were going to make this decision before I spent $$$ on a now virtually useless solo cert this year... I would have rolled that cash into adv. nitrox/intro tech instead...

Solo diving is permitted in Lake Huron.

Why limit yourself?

I don' live on the shores of Lake Huron.

How is it going to be enforced? What's the penalty?

I'll let you dive solo. I'll even lend you a pony bottle.

If you are diving solo you may want to clean-up your hose routing...

Hey Man, Gilboa allows solo; I just did a 1hr. and 15min. dive there yesterday. I got it in before all the folks arrived for the non-event and cloud everything up. I believe it's the only quarry in the immediate area that allows solo. Come on down and we'll solo together.---- is that possible???:shocked2:

Park rangers will be on the lookout, $50 fine first offense... I'm guessing eviction and barring access with revocation of season pass for subsequent offenses.

I've got a 40 cf pony, secondary independant airsource is one of the main requirements of passing the course.
