Professionally, solo diving has always been an option which depends on operational requirements and risk assessment. <a href="/wiki/Surface_supplied_diving" class="mw-redirect" title="Surface supplied diving">Surface supplied diving</a> and <a href="/wiki/Atmospheric_suit_diving" class="mw-redirect" title="Atmospheric suit diving">atmospheric suit diving</a> are commonly single diver underwater activities but are accompanied by an on-surface <a href="/wiki/Diving_team" title="Diving team">support team</a> dedicated to the safety of the diver, including a <a href="/wiki/Stand-by_diver" class="mw-redirect" title="Stand-by diver">stand-by diver</a>, and are not considered solo diving in this sense. </p><p>Solo freediving has occurred for <a href="/wiki/Millennium" title="Millennium">millennia</a> as evidenced by artifacts dating back to the ancient people of <a href="/wiki/Mesopotamia" title="Mesopotamia">Mesopotamia</a> when people dived to gather food and to collect pearl oysters.<sup id="cite_ref-Dive_Training_Magazine_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dive_Training_Magazine-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It wasn't until the 1950s, with the development of formalised scuba diving training, that recreational solo diving was deemed to be dangerous, particularly for beginners. In an effort to mitigate associated risks, some scuba <a href="/wiki/Scuba_certification" class="mw-redirect" title="Scuba certification">certification agencies</a> incorporated the practice of <a href="/wiki/Buddy_diving" title="Buddy diving">buddy diving</a> into their <a href="/wiki/Diver_training" title="Diver training">diver training</a> programmes. The true risk of solo diving relative to buddy diving in the same environmental conditions has never been reliably established, and may have been significantly overstated by some organisations, though it is generally recognised that buddy and team diving, when performed as specified in the manuals, will enhance safety to some extent depending on circumstances. </p><p>Some divers, typically those with advanced <a href="/wiki/Scuba_skills" title="Scuba skills">underwater skills</a>, prefer solo diving over buddy diving and acknowledge responsibility for their own safety.<sup id="cite_ref-Halstead_1997_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Halstead_1997-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> One of the more controversial reasons given being the uncertain competence of arbitrarily allocated dive buddies imposed on divers by service providers protected from liability by waivers. Others simply prefer solitude while communing with nature, or find the burden of continuously monitoring another person reduces their enjoyment of the activity, or engage in activities which are incompatible with effective buddy diving practices, and accept the possibility of slightly increased risk, just as others accept the increased risk associated with deeper dives, planned decompression, or penetration under an overhead. </p><p>The recreational solo diver uses enhanced procedures, skills and equipment to mitigate the risks associated with not having another competent diver immediately available to assist if something goes wrong. The skills and procedures may be learned through a variety of effective methods to achieve appropriate competence, including formal training programmes with associated assessment and certification. Recreational solo diving, once discouraged by most training agencies, has been accepted since the late 1990s<sup id="cite_ref-SDIsolo_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SDIsolo-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> by some agencies that will train and certify experienced divers skilled in self-sufficiency and the use of redundant backup <a href="/wiki/Scuba_equipment" class="mw-redirect" title="Scuba equipment">scuba equipment</a>. In most countries there is no legal impediment to solo recreational diving, with or without certification. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Definition">Definition</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Solo_diving&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Definition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Solo diving is defined as diving planned to be conducted entirely or partly without a buddy.<sup id="cite_ref-Lonne_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lonne-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-DIVE.in_2011_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DIVE.in_2011-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The term may also be applied to dives that begin with a buddy but continue after separation, and to dives where other divers are nearby but are either not responsible for the safety of the solo diver, or known not to be competent to deal with the consequences of a foreseeable contingency. The term has also been used to describe dives where buddies are insufficiently attentive or close enough to function effectively as a buddy pair,<sup id="cite_ref-Brylske_1994_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brylske_1994-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> a situation commonly referred to as "same ocean buddy diving".<sup id="cite_ref-Francis_2006_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Francis_2006-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Layton_2012_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Layton_2012-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The term is not used for diving where at least one of the buddies consistently strives to remain together and assist the other in an emergency, but fails in one or both of these goals, or dives where a buddy pair is split by a developing emergency which they are unable to manage. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Self-sufficiency">Self-sufficiency</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Solo_diving&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Self-sufficiency"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>To be acceptably safe, solo divers must be self-sufficient, well <a href="/wiki/Diver_training" title="Diver training">trained</a>, prepared, practiced and prudent.<sup id="cite_ref-solo_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-solo-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They should have a completely redundant set of all life support equipment – a complete, self-contained backup breathing gas supply sufficient to return to the surface from any point of the planned dive profile. In addition, responsible solo divers adhere to a relatively conservative <a href="/wiki/Dive_profile" title="Dive profile">dive profile</a>, both in depth and level of difficulty. Unlike the buddy system, which can encourage divers to rely on others in the event of an emergency, solo diving encourages divers to prepare themselves to overcome emergencies by their own efforts. The divers who engage in solo diving are typically those who are experienced, equipped and skilled enough to handle problems themselves. Solo divers must feel comfortable and relaxed in doing this sort of diving, and nobody should seriously consider diving solo if they are not both competent and comfortable in doing so.<sup id="cite_ref-Powell_2011_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Powell_2011-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Brylske_1994_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brylske_1994-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Solo_diving&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The history of solo diving stands in stark contrast to the relatively new concept of buddy diving that was developed for recreational diving in the early to mid-20th century.<sup id="cite_ref-Booth2007_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Booth2007-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Artifacts dating back some 4,500 years provide evidence of solo diving for food and commerce by the ancient people of <a href="/wiki/Mesopotamia" title="Mesopotamia">Mesopotamia</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Dive_Training_Magazine_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dive_Training_Magazine-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Brylske_1994_6-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brylske_1994-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> There are written accounts from 2nd century BC that describe commercial sponge fishing, including notes about sponge divers, their lifestyle and fear of predatory sharks.<sup id="cite_ref-Pronzato_and_Manconi_2008_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pronzato_and_Manconi_2008-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 350 BC, <a href="/wiki/Aristotle" title="Aristotle">Aristotle</a> wrote about "an 'elephant nose-like tube' that allowed sponge fishermen to breathe during diving",<sup id="cite_ref-Pronzato_and_Manconi_2008_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pronzato_and_Manconi_2008-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and in 8th–6th century BC, there are references to solo diving in the writings of <a href="/wiki/Homer" title="Homer">Homer</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Dive_Training_Magazine_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dive_Training_Magazine-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Freedivers traditionally dived alone or with an attendant on the surface to assist with the harvest, and many of the early <a href="/wiki/Diving_bell" title="Diving bell">diving bells</a> were only large enough for a single occupant.
