I am sorry but, IMHO, that is a very poor excuse...

I keep hearing people making excuses of why they dive solo on Rebreather, and most of the time, the reason used is because lack of CCR divers as buddies.

I have been diving Rebreather only since 1998'ish, and majority of the time with OC buddies (due to lack of RB buddies). IMHO, there is no practical difference between diving with RB or OC buddies providing the buddies are well informed about the unit.

As most of my dives are of technical-nature (i.e. trimix) and I carry adequate bail-out so it makes no difference who I dive with.
