Hypothetical situation with hypothetical dive outfit. Two students and two certified divers on a six pack boat. Headed to a 25' dive a few miles offshore.
Boat strikes unseen object, prop is lost. Captain drops anchor and it holds, calls for tow boat. Boat has no power at this point.
Instructor takes two OW candidates into the water, 20' viz, slight current. (maybe 1knot)
Would you have done this? I told my hypothetical friend that she should never dive from a boat with no means of propulsion. Your thoughts?
TIA.
