Sadly, many people don't even want to try or even know the choice is out there.
Most students learn to ascend directly to the surface during the out of air drill. This is not always the best option. The best route may be to swim towards the exit point to avoid hazards, such as rough seas or boaters. Being able to swim without being crowded is very nice.
