Your first action should be to respect his wishes.
It's a little creepy to come to terms with, but everybody dies eventually. The concept of a "good death" is unfortunately only clear after witnessing a bad one.
Your dad apparently has a strong preference to continue diving, and really, I can't blame him. Given the choice of a reasonably quick death from a heart-attack or drowing while diving, and a long drawn out death in a hospital, I'd pick diving too.

scubajoh44:Of course I don't want to WATCH HIM DIE, or be a VEGETABLE, or him to go INTO A COMA!!!!!!!!!! And NO NO NO NO....I'm deffinately not prepared to watch him have a heart attack and not help. I will do whatever I need to do. WHATEVER!!!! My whole dilema is I don't know what MY first action should be.
