maybe a mod could ensure Karma points are awarded...

Thanks for your help! I bet a specific diver is especially grateful!

Definitely good on your for making the call...worst thing that happens is some rescue personell have to get off their butts and take a drive....(in no way knocking any emergency rescue personnel or their jobs, as i am trying to become a firefighter myself, but we all know there is a lot of downtime in those fields). Always better safe then sorry. Definite good karma comin your way.

You made the right decision to call.ffice

ffice" />>>
Does anyone know the rest of the story? Was the diver in danger or just separated from his buddies and doing the remaining dive solo?>>
I learned that you need to discuss your dive plan in advance of the dive with your buddy, specifically what to do if you get separated. When diving in these murky waters, different divers have different approaches, but the important thing to do is to have a pre-dive plan. >>

I believe they got seperated. They did have a dive plan, I think that helped. From what the divers were saying, the other diver that was lost was ascending rapidly and his "buddy" didn't want to go up that fast. It seemed they had a "search for 1 minute and surface" plan. I'm no diver so I can't get to technical about it. I'm not sure if the lost guy had and difficulties.
