John why do you think your safer with another diver in the water? What are you safer from? You may feel more secure, but that’s a false sense of security. There is no evidence that there are more fatalities with solo divers, the opposite is true. All commercial diving is done solo, the standby diver is never in the water. As for being reluctant to dive with me that’s a personal choice, the wrong one I might add. Eric [ straight forward dive ] was a bad choice of words, all dives are different but your decision to dive with a buddy to share the experience is a social one, not a safety one. RA, if you have a medical emergency underwater 99% of buddies are not going to be able to help, it’s just bad luck. As for narcosis if you have all ready convinced yourself that your going to be narced before you dive, then your going to be narced.
