Jim:
I don't know about Lake Superior, but where we are in Lake Michigan federal
budget cuts have put that nice orange and white helicopter more than 30
minutes air time away. That is about what it would take for me to get an
injured diver to the closest port.
Again, I certainly agree with you that a diver should never be left alone in
the water.
Good diving to you,
Dale

go out on a tech dive, what is your plan if a diver gets bent? In
Whitefish point the plan is to leave all your divers hanging off a sea
buoy right off a major shipping lane and then (if the engines will start)
come back and pick up the surviviors.
What happens around here is a nice chopper ride on an nice orange and
white helicopter, gratis Uncle Sam. The boats don't leave the divers in
the water. Why this can't happen in bumfuck lake superior is beyond me.
