On only one dive?  That is pretty pathetic.  Listen to this one:

Dive #1 Cavern/Intro - JJ

Masks off (both divers)
one diver OOA
as if this weren't enough.....
half way around the line circuit, JJ throws in a T to identify and bypass.
3/4 the way around, he TIES MY MANIFOLD to a tree stump with MY safety spool.

And that was only dive number one.... Of cavern/intro!
