It is not uncommon for cave divers to push sumps solo. They say that
when pushing, it is actually safer to be by yourself so that if there is a
silt-out or other problem, your partners do not get in the way. Still, they
generally have a team of sherpas and/or backup divers along. Ron Simmons died
last year on a similar solo push trip with no backup. :-(
