I dive solo all the time. Do I prefer it? Well, yes and no. Yes because I can set my own pace while photographing, I don't have to worry about poor diving ruining my pics, I can usually find my way back to origin without any problems. No, because when you see something REALLY special, you have no one to share it with. It can get lonely.

I don't worry about trouble because I trust my diving skills and my equipment. And, if doo doo happens, I can't hurt anyone but myself.
