"Well aren't you just the the judge, jury, and executioner."
Is it your intent to justify the actions of a man who assaults a woman at 16 meters depth, or did you just see an opportunity to be snarky and could not resist the compulsion? (BTW I am not being snarky, I'd really like an answer to this question, because your motive is opaque to me.) If you had a real point, make it. If you thought you were being clever or whatever - epic fail.
"Are you serious... If you can't put a regulator back in your mouth you have no business diving..."
Have you ever been assaulted by a person much larger than you who is being aggressive and malicious (as opposed to just spanking you for being a dolt, for example)? I assume not, given your lack of empathy. First, she was likely scared, and while an instructor might not panic under any other circumstances, the assault could have caused such a reaction. All it takes is a few seconds to do damage in a runaway ascent. Second, she needed to keep her eyse on him as well, and was likely uncertain if a second round was imminent, which gets complicated. I doubt her training covered this scenario. Third, someone with your lack of concern for the victim of an assault has no business judging anybody for anything, and I wouldn't take you diving (or do anything else with you) for any price.
I can picture you now, while your buddy is panicking and can't find his reg, with a snarky look in your eyes, and you then signal in a series of hand gestures, "If you can't put a regulator back in your mouth you have no business diving..." while others come to his rescue...
Not cool, not tough, not manly, just pitiful.

How often have you been attacked , either on land or underwater? How many times?? Please answer!
If the answer is zero, as it is with most people, please tell us why a European thinks it very funny to speak about assaults without knowing WTF you are talking about. People react, or fail to react, to a malicious attack in unpredictable ways. Even Europeans who are too cool for school.
I guarantee you that if you and I were on land and you had on scuba gear, and I decided to come at you with what my wife so lovingly calls my "Jim Tucker" impersonation, and I ripped the reg out of your mouth, you would not be able to find it or even know how to look for it for long enough to ascend 25 feet. If you have never been attacked and had no training, I'd bet 50 against 10 it would make you pee your pants.
And can you remember from your OW course how much the air in your lungs will expand from 8 meters to the surface??
(BTW Jim Tucker was my father. He was a Master Sargent in the Marine Corps. 'nuf said.)

It is very funny for an european: you guys in the US can relate any action to assault, crime and lawyers............................:blinking:. You are getting hot on a MAUI instructor that was in life danger because she had lost her primary regulator at 25 feet...............give me a break. Please be aware that I am not saying that the fisherman did behave correctly. But to talk about assault and endangered life
