Part of your responsibility is to choose a buddy responsibly not just hope
for a responsible.


INteresting...... so:

1) I must have a buddy

JG: I never said "must."

2) it my responsibility to chose a "responsible and skilled buddy"

JG: Yes.

Does that mean I must find a person with similar skills... abilities
as myself????? Humm, now where would I find some one like that?????

JG: No. It means that you should be responsible for the person you pick.
Ummm... local dive shops, craigslist, perhaps you can rent one on ebay. LOL

There is one thing I need to know. You say, ".....Diving a lone is
much more dangerous over all...."

To that I must ask WHY??? And are are saying that diving with a buddy
over all out weighs the hazards?

JG: I think you need to do some research to confirm this for yourself. Does
SCUBA alone outweigh the hazards of with a buddy? Only you can ultimately
answer that for yourself.

If that is the case why use SCUBA at all??? I say SCUBA is flawed and
extramily unsafe compared to surface supplied with a topside crew
including recomression chamber and operator... Oh, and also including
02 treatment tables to dept of releaf. So should I just avoid SCUBA
altogether because it simply an unsafe method to put a diver to
depth???

JG: This sounds like a rant... I SCUBA although not recently. For example, I
was and will remain always conservative when it comes to the tables. I used
to not use a computer, but finally bought want a few years ago. It was a
great help, but I don't like to get even close to it.
