The word is finish and you have a computer as well! See we all make mistakes even you! Don't make one that may kill you!
First of all where was the panic? Your case has nothing to do with the subject here in a basic forum! My point from the beginning is for two OW divers is to understand your air belongs to you not your buddy! It is up to each person to manage there air from the start to the end of a dive! Next if two OW divers have an emergency many times due to the lack of training the OOA diver may panic! My point is if you don't feel you can control the panicked diver an attempted rescue could very well get you killed as well! You have to do what is reasonable and SAFE to save the panicked person IF possible without risking your death!
In rescue the rescuer comes first! No matter what you are doing! Further more you support my point that an unconscious or disoriented diver is easy to rescue as compared to one in full panic!
Were they on open circuit SCUBA? Didn't sound like it to me? That qualifies it as a tech dive from the get go!
You have been misconstruing and misstating my position crediting me for statements that I never made! So that is not an opinion at all! It is out right lying about my stated position! If you have trouble understanding my posts ignore them in the future please!
And finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did you delete so many of your previous posts? (!)
