One thing you are forgetting, Jim. You have removed yourself from the 
available divers who could help someone who had trouble and sank to the 
bottom. You you went for it you would be at 1.8 - 1.9 PPO2 and under 
stress, a recipe for disaster.

On your boat do you tell the 30 diver if he sees someone in trouble to 
just let the stupid bastard sink and head on up? Or do you care?
