Re:Solo Dive Cert
Actually, my experience with doing dives off of the Jersey coast has been that divers are relatively experienced. Most of the boats have minimum certifications and/or logged proof of dive experience.

As for any suggestion that those divers lack buddy skills, I feel that is incorrect. The conditions of the dives off of the coast make having a pony bottle or a set of doubles worthwhile. Varying currents and limited visibility mean that even very experienced divers can find themselves temporarily out of reach of their buddy. The entaglement hazards on the wrecks also make it desireable to have additional air should a diver need to spend additional time cutting themselves free.

Of course that's not to say that all divers are good, but to say that there are problems all of the time seems an overstatement.
