Scuba Diving Solo (Is it safe?)

Scuba diving alone in the ocean. Am I crazy? Yes and No!

The family left me alone for the day, and I want nothing more than to go scuba diving and snap some fish pictures.

Join me as I load up the car, jump in the water near Cane Bay Beach, and swim out to a massive coral head. Packing my full face mask and underwater communication equipment, I also talk about scuba diving solo above and below the surface.

Happy diving, we hope you enjoy the video, - Jeff, Sara, and Evan.

Great to start conversation.

Completely agree, As an instructor too, you are always solo diving even when guiding tourist divers. As a tec diver too you are trained to be self reliant as you may end a dive on own during tec dive despite going in as a team.

Like you if going solo I limit my max depth to 8-9m as know can easily do CESA as last resort (equipment failure). However, if going deeper I will go sidemount with backup redundancy but this is rare, normally a recovery mission.

Normally if I am guiding tourists who burn through their air quickly I return them back onto boat and if only been down for 20mins, I do go back down and move between the other groups filming.

Great video Jeff.

I have been clearing propellers on commercial fishing vessels for 53 years solo
Years ago I did a solo dive off a public beach on a wreck on a reef in 18 ft of water a half Nile from shore I swam out there
I was gone a good 3 hours. When I got back there was a flotilla of little boats the police and the fire department they were organizing a search party to go looking for me.
After that I towed a dive flag around for 3 years and got pulled up 5 times by passing boaters wondering what it was ? Or the line would get staged no something so I ditched it
I have dive buddies they are active divers in the commercial gas industry with over 25 years experience.
On a"weekend warrior " dive excursions ther can be 8 of us on the boat on the way out. Unless something is planned on the bottom, as soon as they hit the water they are GONE !
You won't see them till you are back at the boat .they don't worry about me I don't worry about them.
Plus we know where the smokers are
45 minutes into the dive they are back on the boat having a smoke.
