Solo diving and rebreather deaths. From the Rubicon report. archive.rubicon-foundation.org/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/6997/AAUS_2007_11.pdf?sequence=3 Solo diving was particularly controversial. There was strong discussion about how often rebreather fatalities occurred in divers without buddies. Solo diving was cited as involved in 80-95% of rebreather diving deaths. This estimate was questioned, but an attorney reported that 80% of 40 rebreather fatalities he had investigated involved solo diving. A case was cited that recovery of a hypoxic diver was possible because a buddy was present. However, the points were also made that divers should be trained to look after themselves rather than be buddy-dependent and that divers are going to do what they want. No one argued these points, but the question remained as to how much emphasis training agencies and diving operators should put on buddy diving
