Solo Diving begins with an examination of the stengths and weaknesses of buddy system, and explains why some divers choose to dive alone. This volume then addresses what it takes to become a self-sufficient diver which includes a section on self-evaluation.
Diving physiology and the importance of fitness are stressed and there is an excellent section of dive management guidelines which include dive planning rules, air management, air consumption, thermal protection, ascents and cold water/arduous dive considerations. Included is a discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of the various emergency breathing systems available and how they affect self-rescue. The final section has comments of well known divers about solo diving. Contains information for all levels of diver.

Comments about Aqua Quest Solo Diving, The Art of Underwater Self-Sufficiency, By Robert Von Maier:
This is a great read for any diver but I do wish ther was more here. Any diver that dives very long will be doing a solo dive even if it's just because they lost their buddy. The book is more about being a self sufficent diver than anything else. Do yourself and your buddy a favor and read this book.
