If the roll call had been done perfectly, what would
have happened? An in-water search wouldn't seem to
make much sense (the bottom is beyond reasonable
depths, right?).
1. Would Dan have been spotted, or was he now too
far away? (1a Is his sausage deployed? 1b
What was the surface visibility?)
2. I think the correct first action would be a search
for bubbles in the vicinity of the rig (while Dan drifts farther away) with an eyeball search down
current for Dan. 2a. When to switch from bubble
search to moving the boat down-current?
3. How the heck did Dan get checked OFF the boat
at the second site? I haven't heard ANY conjecture
about that, and I guarantee there's a story there.
