It's ok to solo; but what else?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Solo Diving, Revised: The Art of Underwater Self-Sufficiency (Paperback)
As a Naui Divemaster, I looked forward to this book expanding my own horizons and teaching me more about diving. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Instead of learning new techniques and applications for solo diving, I found 2 things: 1) justification upon justification that solo diving was OK, and 2) redundant breathing systems. While I agree that solo diving has somewhat of a taboo status, I would think that anyone who buys this book does not need convincing that solo diving is viable. And while I agree that redundant air systems are important, there are other techniques (such as lift bags and double first stages) that I hoped would be touched on. But what you have is a rather short book, which would have very little body if you removed the two topics I mentioned. Anything in here, a good diver should already be aware of.

Solo Diving,
By A Customer
This review is from: Solo Diving, Revised: The Art of Underwater Self-Sufficiency (Paperback)
A joke of information. Most of the book was opinions and a section on redundant backups. Save your time and money.

The only book on diving solo.,

This review is from: Solo Diving, Revised: The Art of Underwater Self-Sufficiency (Paperback)
The only book on the subject, this book is very good on the reasons why we dive solo.The techniques are somewhat out-dated, though certainly workable.
