CCR Solo Diving

Re: CCR Solo Diving
Some of my best dives are solo dives.  Its not because I dont want to dive with a buddy, but instead because I cannot always find a buddy to dive when I am ready.  I have also dove at times when a buddy was unable to dive.  For example I dove the Congdon Bow solo because my buddy could not get to the down line in a current.  The dive was not that deep max depth about 100' and no current on the wreck. 
I am not looking for anyone to say one style of diving is the only way that one should dive.  I think that risk assesment is key, and if you dont have the equipment, skills, and self-contained bailout then its a bad idea to even be in the water.  To reley on a buddy to save your A-- in a emergency, is at best a dangerous proposition, and at worst a two man panic situation. 
I dive with full bailout and I always assume that something can and will happen on every dive.  I do checks methodicly and often correct wouldbe problems before they even happen. 
Just wondering if people think Im nuts for getting into the water solo. 
Go Big, or go home!
