Let us see now what is wrong with this picture:
-A diver who is not mentally or physically practiced in solo diving. The single most important parts of solo diving are the diver's mental attitude and physical ability to handle the unexpected.
-A diver who most likely has not the equipment to dive solo.
-A diver who most likely doesn't have any experience in evaluating the situation. A vehicle may Look like it is stuck and stable; but it may not actually be. I've seen this more than once.
-A diver who not only doesn't know the answers; doesn't know the questions to ask.
-A diver who has no support and is entering into an unknown situation. You can drown in a tea cup of water, let alone 20'.
-A diver who is risking life and limb for a thing.
Nope, doing this kind of thing is hazardous for experienced, currently practiced divers. It is very dangerous for others. I'm amazed that anyone who is not a Solo Diver would so blithly attempt a recovery. Don't you remember you are not supposed to dive beyond your training. I'll accept OJT under controlled conditions. But, this don't qualify as that.
