Alright the question was not a great one,
It was an attempt to keep the ball rolling.
However I do think that some have missed the point,
Ofcourse you are going to assend, if this happens
I believe that all people out there
have some common sense, contrary to what some of the
answers show.
The question that you where ment to think about was how to you
requlate the reat of you assent to do it as safe as possible,
with no gauges.
Possible answers may have been
1 Find another buddy pair and come up using their gauges as a
depth but not decompression guide.
Find the anchor line and knowing approx what depth you where
at at the start of the dive and knowing that your hand extended
on vertically above your head to you mouth is approx 50cm
work up the line counting the depth down ie 40m 39.5m etc
until you come to the stop depths, work out the air requirements
and do the 1/2 2/3 1/6 rules to the air remaining to work out stop times
3 possible use you smallest bubbles as an asent rate monitor, the smallest
ones move upwards at approx 12m/minute.
etc etc etc
Please infuture look at the question and analyise it
They may sound stupid, however they are mean't to make
you think about SAFE ways out,
NOt
SLitting your wrists and GIVING UP as some did.
P.s. Thinking of an answer to Tracys question at the moment, will reply
soon, nice question.
