The following post is one of a series of threads resulting from a collaboration between [user]Bubbletrubble[/user] and myself.
We have divided the What if...? idea into a series of topics and posted the main thread as a sticky here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ne...514-what-if-what-do-when-things-go-wrong.html
Please Read The Following Bullet Points Carefully!
Dive Planning & Trust Me Dives
* What would you do if you reached your agreed upon turnaround pressure and your buddy or the DM pushed on with the dive (rather than turning around)?
* What would you do if the DM leading your boat dive went into a cave or other overhead environment?
* What would you do if your buddy inexplicably descended deeper (100+ fsw) than the two of you had discussed during pre-dive planning?
* What would you do if your buddy wanted to go diving but you weren't comfortable with the dive conditions (high surf, current, low vis, rough seas, etc.)?
* What would you do if your buddy gave you "the thumb" on the dive but everything seemed like it was OK?

- Our intent for this discussion is to get newer divers thinking, not spoon feed them the answers.
- We're going to ask that the more experienced divers don't just jump in with responses to every scenario.
- Instead, we want this to be a two part exercise for newer divers by doing the following:
- Quote a given scenario and
- (1) discuss what they would do given the situation
- (2) talk about how to avoid getting into that situation in the first place.
- Then the more experienced divers can give follow up comments on insights on those answers.
