This is the only option. First, you should not be in the water without a depth gauge, timer and tables. It is stupid and dangerous to rely on a computer. Every dive you make from the very beginning should be recorded at the end of the dive and deco should be planned for the next dive prior to getting in the water. You shouldnt need the computer at all. If you do have the computer, it is a backup only not a primary device, and certainly not the only one. With this in mind, short of death of a diver, (out of air is no excuse for a "bailout" only a controlled ascent to the surface) you should never have to BAILOUT.
