I think that if you had read it closer, you'd notice that the dead diver was escorted to the beach. AFTER his buddy left him ON THE BEACH, he went back into the water and died. That's the way I read it. If that's correct, then his buddy fulfilled his responsibility. He took his buddy safely to shore. After that, it's out of his hands.

About 8:10 p.m., he noticed Roth was lagging behind him. After Bleijenberg twice asked if he was OK, Roth said he was abandoning the dive. Bleijenberg followed Roth to the beach. After five minutes, he saw a light on the beach moving back and forth, like someone was looking for something. Three bystanders on the beach told him they were looking for a diver who had gone back into the water to look for a light he'd lost. It's unclear whether Roth made it onto the beach or whether he stayed in the water to shout ashore before going back out to sea." ........found him basically dead. great, the buddy abandons the dive cause he's feeling bad and he's left to make it out of the water on his own while his so called buddy carries on diving. Buddy then dies. remind me not to dive with assholes like this "Harry Bleijenberg, 53, a scuba instructor from Los Alamitos.
