pilot fish:No, thank God. It is just something I have wondered about and was curious what other divers might do. I have been on a lot of dives where all of us have gotten spread out, as happens on most dives, or my Buddy has wandered off, or we have just gotten seperated for one reaon or another.
Hmmm ... lemme see, what might I do if I find myself diving with a buddy who can't stay within a kick or two ...
1) I might decide not to go very deep ... say, stay within a range where I know I would have a reasonable chance of reaching the surface if the hit fit the shan.
2) I might decide to pay closer attention to my SPG, and start my ascent with a little extra gas to spare.
3) I might even decide to thumb the dive as soon as I realize that we're going to have issues diving as a team ... after all, it ain't like the dive is worth my life or anything.
Speculation is OK I guess ... but the real answer is don't put yourself into the situation ... you have lots of options in a case like that. Diving is all about using good judgment. You need to understand that not doing so can kill you.
Lots of things in life are like that ...
