Ok, for the sake of arguement, lets assume Dan had no business what so ever diving those rigs. Lets say he shouldn't have been on the boat at all. Matter of fact lets assume Dan shouldn't even have been certified. Agreed? So what! He surfaced and was left behind (twice) by the DM. On this issue alone the Fat Lady has Sung. Short of a Sunami the DM was responsible to ensure Dummy Dan was accounted for, not the other way around. The rest is purely academic or, as I suspect, as may be the case with other DM on this board we are looking at how we do business to find what ever flaws may exist in our protocol, which is what we should be doing. Because no matter how good/experienced we think we are we should always critique ourselves at the end of the day.
