Comments and Feedback
I dived today solo. As a Tec Diver I'm well aware of the risks of diving alone and how to prevent them. I carried a bail out tank with me at all times so my safety was never compromised. I managed to cut off a 15.5m long nylon rope that was wrapped around the corals and stones
