Another reason to bring a pony or redundant air source on deep dives. You don't plan on going deeper. Your buddy plummets to the depths of the ocean. Now you're solo because he went to 200 and you're not going to chase. Imagine being solo and knowing you're not ready for that type of diving. There's just something about thinking that your buddy will always be there. I for one would not go chasing someone if they plummeted into the deep leaving me behind. That's not what happened in your situation but hopefully it never happens to any of us.
I suggest that if you plan on doing more deep dives, you prepare yourself as if you're going to dive solo. It's one way to be a better dive. Both for your good and your buddy's.
