Doesn't anyone find it kind of ironic that PADI offers a "Search & Rescue" specality but don't you dare mention "Solo Diving". You can learn to search for and rescue another diver but cannot learn how to rescue yourself.
Like many of you said, most experienced divers end up for the most part diving solo anyway. Like Charlesml3 I too stay at the rear of the group, let things come to me and stay out of the way of the divers who feel the need to be at the front of the pack. Those to me are typically the people who are unsure of their skills and maybe not very comfortable in the water so they want to be up front near the dive navigator or dive leader. Perhaps if they were taught how to be self sufficient they would become more confident and sure of themselves.
