HI John,

Please tell me that isn't based on a real story that happened to you 
recently.  My answer:  I honestly don't know what I'd do, because to know 
what I'd do, I'd have to be as terrified as I would be in the situation 
you just described.  I have been nearly that terrified (close friends not 
returning to the decompression line when they should), and I know that my 
thought processes are not the same in those situations as they are when I'm
sitting at my computer in the safety of my office.  If I were rational, 
I'd probably blow-off the rest of my deco, drag the unconscious person 
into the boat, try to revive him/her and ask what the hell happened, and 
scan the horizon downcurrent to look for any signs of another diver.  I 
doubt I would be that rational if the missing diver was my wife or 
daughter, however.

Aloha,
Rich
