Diving Solo - Discussion

Fraa said:

There are other sports that are similar to freediving in sense of solo practice, I'm talking about rock climbing here. Soloing (no rope, no partner) in rock climbing is at least as dangerous as diving solo, any mistake results in certain death. However, I know a lot of people who climb solo and I do that myself. I believe there are two critical moments common to all potentially dangerous sports when they are practiced solo:
1) Make sure you know what you're doing.
2) Make sure that you want it.
With 1 and 2 in place - just go for it. Still, diving or climbing with a buddy is more fun!

I go alone 99.9% of the time. Life just works that way. I have a copy of my advance directive and my prepaid funeral card in my purse and my will is in a known location. If I should become a "floater," then my bases are covered. But, speaking of floats... I always use one and just "try" to be sensible. I know it "can" happen so I have prepared. Same thing as getting in your car one day and SLAMMO! Be prepared and you can blink out with a smile on your face
