hi
i have not got a problem diving with a buddy ,sometimes its nice to share an experience you have had on that dive with someone who was their and saw it with you ,BUT given a choice i prefer solo for one simple reason ,if the brown stuff hits the fan with a diver in the water with me he or she is not so likely to rip my mouthpiece out in a panic for air if I'm solo, and although i try to be as self sufficient in water as possible ,there is always the chance that that panicking diver could be me ripping out your reg.
cheers
Ray
