A massive dose of “it depends”…. Where are you diving, many other vessels in the vicinity, helicopter availability, lifeboat availability, the runtimes of other divers, sea conditions, tides, etc.
A skipper cannot abandon his other divers. A floating buoy is miniscule compared with the vastness of the sea.
Rule number one applies for all rescues; there should be no more casualties.
