I'm getting jaded, reading accident and incident reports.
Assume Bob and Karen go to do a dive. They look at the planned depth of 100 fsw, with a multilevel profile, coming up a wall. They compare that profile to their own gas consumption on their HP100 tanks, and conclude that this is a dive they can do. They make a plan for maximum bottom time at depth, and sketch out a desired profile. They gear up on the boat and do a careful head-to-toe equipment check, including breathing both regulators and watching their gauges as they do so. They review the plan and the gas supply each of them has.
They jump in the water and descend together, keeping a watchful eye on the group guide. They execute the dive, paying close attention to the planned profile and comparing it to the dive as it unfolds. They watch their pressure, mindful of the rock bottom reserves they discussed on the boat.
They call the dive at the agreed parameter (gas or time) and ascend together, arriving at the surface as a pair. They remain together until they reboard.
Okay -- here's the challenge. Tell me what could happen [-](other than being eaten by a shark) that could cause a serious accident or fatality, given that the dive is executed as described.[/-]
