Most people would think that it is someone who enters the water by themselves. I consider myself a solo diver because I dive during my business trips overseas where I always go alone. I go to a resort and will dive with a guide or with a couple of people and a guide but no one is assigned an insta-buddy. I consider and insta-buddy to be diving solo.
So, what do you think a solo diver is?

I've insta-buddied on a lot of occassions. I tend to pay attention to my buddy more when I'm paired with someone I don't know, just because I don't know what to expect from them, but since I know where they are at all times, I know where my air source is if I encounter a problem.
I consider solo diving to be when I enter the water without any buddy and don't have a group or don't plan on staying with one. If I don't have someone to immediately help me with a problem, I'm solo.
