I’m a photographer so I’m usually solo even if I entered the water with a buddy. We tend to be focused on the subject and not where our buddy is and in NJ they may only be a few feet away and already out of sight.

Are you equipped to bail your self out, two line cutters in case one arm gets tangled, pony bottle, does someone know where you are and will call 911 if you don’t report in.......?

Even then there are dives I won’t do solo, high surf, changing currents, high boat traffic. You really need to think ahead, not after it hits the fan.
