For the same reason that once enjoyed sport scuba alone,,,

I wouldn't dive alone on a bet. Navy training I guess. (Of course at this
point I prolly wouldn't dive at all. It's been about 35 years since I
did.)

I sold a sailboat to a young guy, back around early 90's. He gave me a
deposit,
was supposed to pick up the equipment and give me the balance the following
week.. That weekend he died in a diving accident. Why? Because he stayed
down by himself when his partner gave him the signal that she was low on
air.

He got caught on some wire on the bottom of Gloucester harbor or
thereabouts.

Dead..

There is a reason not to dive alone.
