this is why, among other things,  i do a bubble check and valve
shutdown/isolation procedure in the water before i proceed with the dive -
if you cannot do it at the surface, you sure won't be much more succesful
in an emergency.  there are no guarantees in an emergency but minimizing
your risks by doing some simple pre-dive procedures sure help.  this is
true for all types of diving, isn't it?

safe diving!
