Question

When solo on a dive boat, do you find a buddy or ask the DM to assign you one?

Answer 1

Wow that’s a good question. In practice, I should always ask, but as a DM, I occasionally like to sneak one in by myself. I still keep an eye on the group, as that has been bread into my training, but it’s fun to go solo on occasion.

Answer 2

Depends on several things. First of all, is there an odd number of divers on the boat? Are multiple people diving together? I would rather tag along with a group than be saddled up with an irresponsible diver. The DM will know the experience level of everyone on the boat from the manifest, if it's a good dive operation.

Answer 3

Ask the dm. Explain My experience. Så they Will team me up with some one suitable.

Answer 4

I’ve been diving for close to 50 years and have taken the solo diver course. So, I generally stay close to the group but not too close.

Answer 5

I just keep my mouth shut an dive alone and follow the group.

Answer 6

Ask DM if I can hang close to him
