I was just recently watching a video on youtube of a panicked diver caught in a downcurrent. The diver made an ascent that looked way too fast, along with their dive buddy. When they got to the surface the buddy of the panicked diver kept saying "Go back down to 30 feet! We need to go back to 30 feet!"
I am newly certified for OW and I was taught that you should NEVER go back in the water to decompress if you have to make an emergency ascent or something along those lines. In the comments there were alot of people defending this though.
Would there be any situation where you think going back down to decompress would be the best course of action?
