The word is finish and you have a computer as well! See we all make mistakes even you! Don't make one that may kill you!

First of all where was the panic? Your case has nothing to do with the subject here in a basic forum! My point from the beginning is for two OW divers is to understand your air belongs to you not your buddy! It is up to each person to manage there air from the start to the end of a dive! Next if two OW divers have an emergency many times due to the lack of training the OOA diver may panic! My point is if you don't feel you can control the panicked diver an attempted rescue could very well get you killed as well! You have to do what is reasonable and SAFE to save the panicked person IF possible without risking your death!

In rescue the rescuer comes first! No matter what you are doing! Further more you support my point that an unconscious or disoriented diver is easy to rescue as compared to one in full panic!

Were they on open circuit SCUBA? Didn't sound like it to me? That qualifies it as a tech dive from the get go!

You have been misconstruing and misstating my position crediting me for statements that I never made! So that is not an opinion at all! It is out right lying about my stated position! If you have trouble understanding my posts ignore them in the future please!

And finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why did you delete so many of your previous posts? (!)
 
I have never deleted any of my posts! Not one!

lier, lier, pants on fire. (to put it in legal terms)

I am sure you just meant to say recover right!?

Since SBers are still under the Impression that your buddy has your extra air, I gave Oceanic $6,000,000.00 to put a warning screen on the data mask, that when you used up your air that it will have an alarm and read your on your BUDDY'S air. This will only cut 10 to 15 min out of your dive and bring you back to the surface with 1200 to1500 psi, on a single tank.

So now all the charter boats will have to upgrade to bigger boats, any body that can not use doubles, will be doing shorter dives. your buddy must have the same quanity of air in order to dive.

Now this new rule wont apply to solo divers, they wont need a new 3'500 BUDDY'S air data mask, The solo diver will not be subject to just the bigger charter operators, that havbe upgraded to the new safer way of diving.

I have saved many divers in my life that suck there air down to nothing, I don't have there air, Its my air, they all have came up and showed me there gauge, I take them to a safe depth zone,and then they put there reg in and go to the surface.

In over 11,000 dives only one time did a diver pull my reg out of my mouth for air, At the surface I told him, he needed to really learn how to dive and that, this was the last time I would dive with him. actually never even saw him again.

So pa pa, if you never pulled you post, post a picture of your mother, so I know which way to direct my attack on her, I didn't go back so I don't know what this post pulling is about, I just wanna say something about your mama, since you invited it on a post.

We are in a 100% agreement on everything in your post! The only thing different no one has ever gotten that close to pull mine out;)!!! The funny thing is most divers you save don't dive with you again their too embarrassed!:(

As far as my Mother, feel free she passed way in 1994! But she always enjoyed a good joke!:11:
 
Carma...reap what you soe...what comes around goes around...treat others as you would have them treat you

That diver would have to be a complete idiot.
