Heres a question to think about for all those idle people out there!!

You are diving on a wreck at 30m and you are finishing your dive.
The vis is about 15m. ( A fantasy in U.K. waters)
You have located the shot line, and have approx 100bar left.
Your buddy is by your side and in a simalar state to you.
Your are the more experienced diver..

Your No Stop time is one minute away. ( Than is to say that if you stay
longer at that depth you will have to do stage recompression, which you 
have not planned for).

You look over the side of the ship and spot a diver 7m below you, as you 
observe him you notice that he is motionless ( and no he is not a photo-
grapher), and that his breathing is eratic.

There is spare cylinders on the shotline, but there is in the boat.

What do you do???

Ps The first question you should ask is,  where is his buddy.
BUt let us for the sake of interest asume that his buddy is no ware to
be seen.

  To roads diverged in a yellow wood, 	and I,
  I take the one less travelled by, and that makes all the difference.
