Chasey: If you're solo who's bringing you back up?
My DS hose developed a tiny leak (constant dribble into the suit) and I was about to change it on my last deep solo when it struck me that this was probably the only way I'd get home if I toxed/passed out. A chilling thought. I did swap the hose, but not until after a long think.
Something else which played on my mind for some of the solo stuff I've done is that I take equipment for me only. I was playing in an area where there were other divers and I was very concerned that one of them would "present themselves" looking for emergency gas - which I couldn't give them. Imagine the ensuing nightmare. Maybe, ironically, solo divers
should take some form of extra gas for such situations. (This is very site/dive and equipment-specific to me, but may apply to others too.)
