Greg’s two cents:
Good, heated discussion everyone...makes for an interesting read :)
I personally prefer diving with a buddy, that’s why I started this website. For me, and for most divers, it’s safer and more fun.
I see the merit in solo diving, but only in certain dive environments, and only with proper training and equipment.
I do not think posts should be deleted just because they may not be accepted by the majority. Posts with opposite views gives everyone a chance to learn about the issue and make an educated decision for themselves. However, that’s why I built the Report mechanism in DiveBuddy. If enough members Report a forum topic because they don’t like it, it will automatically be removed.
Keep up the constructive conversation!
