I would want to agree with the point that someone who has
survived several emergencies might be better able to handle
themselves in another one. But you might want to think about
the fact that this person keeps getting themselves into these
emergencies. I have found that 99% of all "emergencies" are
the result of poor or no planning and diver error. Very rarely
is an outside influence responsible for someones harm.
Recently we had one of the divers who keeps surviving
emergencies finally do himself in. I wasn't aware of the other
instances but as I talked to mates on other boats I kept
hearing similar stories of his survival. I suppose that if you
try hard enough, sooner or later you will die.
