Actually Mike I would have been the only one affected because like I said somewhere in the first thread if I had screwed up and entered the water with my air off I would have simply stood up it was a river drift dive with a max depth of 21 feet and an average depth of five feet and I stand 6'2"
I understand all of the residual consequence of a fatal mistake as well as the team approach that a DM should be a part of because I am a PSD who depends on my tender but that is because I trust my tender with my life and I did not trust this DM and because of that I asked him to forgo a fourth valve check when he refused I saw no need to tip him. He did his valve check I did a fifth check and no harsh words were shared until I arrived at SB
