Thanks, Terry. Perhaps another regrettable incidence of arbitrary buddy pairing? This should NOT in any way be interpreted as a buddy system negative. With or without a buddy the lady would have panicked, for whatever reason, and the result would have been the same. Hopefully, this incident will not be used to advance the buddy vs. solo diving issue either way.
