Are you serious ?
I cannot believe this, an agency teaching when to leave your buddy.
Though , I may hear the possible reasoning.... when the action required
would put your own life at stake.....,
but in this case  there probably would be no reason to be in the water
anyway.
With CC breathers problems can be much more insidious though, requiring
even better training, and sound redundancy concepts, and the definite
will to cling to these.

Well, if your partner is bitten in half by sharks, and I feel I am
supposed to be the next course, I might feel inclined to sneak out.
Otherwise, I feel the need to set schemes officially when to leave your
partner an excuse for not designing a  thorough training, and  even
carrying an idea of blasphemy within this concept.

I was amazed to see this stuff in an SSI booklet, as an advice for a
rescuer, to let the rescuee floating up in case of lack off control.

I have to adress this issue in my rescue classes, and cannot but leave
the choice to the invidual and their concept of ethics, but not without
showing them all possible means to avoid this,the moral and legal issues
involved,  and make it clear that students fail if they do not meet the
standards.

However, fate may strike merciless, and I would see myself a case for
nemesis if I were to utter degrading thoughts towards the memory of the
ceased .
