18. Do you understand that the dive should not be cut short for anything less than an emergency?

Do you understand that any diver can abort any dive at any time for any reason or no reason at all and that is not negotiable?

The rest are funny, that one is merely a dangerous attitude.

It's supposed to be a joke, not in anyway a real questionnaire for dive buddies.
