By the same token, you should then expect a hose that is 2 and a half times longer to fail 2 and a half times more often. You can get real crazy too, expect the wreck to collapse (so no penetration), expect your gas is contaminated (so only freediving and snorkeling), expect the next comet to strike the earth (and bury your head in the sand). I refuse to dive paranoid because of a one in a million chance. When is the last time you had anyone come screaming over to you for air? All the situations I have been in were low on air and in my more than 1000 dives on often crowded wrecks (San Diego Saturdays, anyone?) I have never heard of anyone so desperate as to have attacked someone else for air. I'm sure it has happened but . . . If you tend to dive in groups or teams be reasonably prepared to deal with that, if you dive solo be reasonably prepared for that.
