Well, what could go wrong?

Here's the story of Jack and Diane...

Two American kids who dived as planned...

They should have just bought the first boat a six-pack as the rules state and ask for a ride back to their boat.

See? This is why I love ScubaBoard. I was unaware of that rule. Didn't learn that in my OW class.

Yep, it's the rule right after the one that states that the PADI Police are waiting at 131 ft to issue tickets.

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.

A couple of possibilities I haven't seen mentioned yet:

(1) Bob and Karen were knocking back drinks all day the day before and one takes a DCI hit after the dive (happened to someone on a recent trip I was on who executed their dive perfectly and got bent, alcohol was pointed to as the cause).

(2) While waiting for the boat one of them is exhausted, panics, doesn't inflate their BC, doesn't drop weights and drowns (seem to see this one a lot in the A&I forum).

(3) Surface swell-related issues -- bashed in the head by the boat while waiting for the ladder, tangled up in the drift line, out of air and snorkel keeps flooding, etc.

(4) Weather-related ... hypothermia, heat stroke, etc. once back on the boat.

(5) Someone may have mentioned this, but any equalization or reverse-block problems while not fatal could lead to a serious ear injury.

The guides dont do a proper head count and the boat leaves w/o them....
