I fully agree with your statement! It is easy to blame other people, if your 
dive was unsafe or became dangerous or perhaps too hard to handle. Any time you 
go down to a wreck (or any deep dive in general), you must face the danger and 
even though, I have safely managed to do several deep wreck explorations in 580 
ft, I also got almost killed in a wreck at only 250ft, just because I was
daring 
a bit too much and thought, I could handle it, to dive down to a more deeper 
deck, while exploring a liner. Well, I learned my lesson, but one thing is for 
sure: down there, you are the only one to blame, if something goes wrong, which 
you cannot handle by yourself! If you count only on your buddy, to rescue you 
from a dangerous situation, you shouldn't do that kind of diving!

Best wishes and safe diving from a tekkie from Germany.

Mario
