There's a solution to that--fill your argon tank with nitrox and breathe from it when they're not looking.

The answer is yes, or not.

We got the gas, but do we got the cohones?

But, of course, if you have to share air with a buddy, you don't have the gas:

Rock Bottom would be:

1 minute at 300 feet using a stressed SAC of 1 cf/min times two divers: 20 cf.

30 fpm from there is 10 minutes, average 150 feet, equals 120 cf of gas (two divers@1 cf/min), 10 min*2 cf/min*6 ATA.

I'm not even going to add the stops because you wouldn't get to them.

So, the good news is you got off the bottom, the bad news is you and your buddy ran out of gas around 200 feet . . .

But of course, this is just musings about hypotheticals.

I'm guessing that if you're stupid enough to try doing this, you probably are stupid enough to do it solo. You probably didn't even tell your momma where you were going!
