I’ve made many a dive trip without taking a buddy with me. Don’t worry and there will always be a buddy for you or you will hook up with another pair and make a buddy team of three. I’ve logged over 200 dives and have only had a pre arranged buddy on less than half but have never dove alone. If your interested in Koh Tao diving I’ll be there from 19-26 August and I’m looking for a buddy. Have fun on your dives...Tom
