Thoughts are with his family of course at this time. He will be found, God willing. As one who solo dives often, at depths of over 200', I respect the fact that I am alone and would have to save myself if an emergency were to manifest itself. On deeper dives, this really can stress you, but it makes you really aware of everything. On shallower dives, maybe one might not respect the danger of going it alone as much. I know I personally find dives at 120' and shallower don't earn the kind of respect that deep (over 200') demand, that is a mistake, as you can drown in 4" of water! I will rethink all solo diving of mine in the future. You just never know if and when you might "black out"! Maybe that buddy can help get ya to the surface... Dive safe and often. Know your limits, and stay within them.
