Yes, I am most concerned with my (and my wifes') ability to deal with an OOA situation that occurs to someone else. I don't feel overly concerned about it happening to one of us, as at this point I am nutty about checking my SPG and asking my buddy to check his/hers. I am operating under the rule of thumb of 1000 out, 1000 back, 500 under the boat finding interesting things to look at, 500 in the tank when I surface.
I just wanted some feedback from those who had been diving for awhile whether this was a relatively common experience, or exceedingly rare or what. From the very encouraging and helpful responses here it sounds to me like swivels/o-rings are a bigger concern than panicked divers OOA.
My wife is just trying to balance the "Diving is serious business" with "Diving is so much fun!". I am trying to promote a healthy respect for the risks, without giving the impression that the grim reaper is waiting under every 40' warm water reef dive.
