Just when I thought you couldn't get any more clueless ...

Of course you don't always get to dive at your initial destination.
Actually,  this can happen for all kinds of reasons ... not just because
your mooring buoy is occupied.
Actually, the problem is even worse if you're on a commercial charter than
on your own boat - you don't necessarily have the final say as to
destination.

The intelligent solution would be to set yourself up with mixes generic
enough to be used at a range of depths and then choose another destination
within the same range as you had planned or shallower.

If you messed up your pre-dive planning so you don't have this option, don't
dive.

Real simple, eh?

It doesn't seem to take most people thousands of dives and decades to figure
this one out.

But we knew you were special ...
