Ok, being a Recreational SCUBA Instructor, I get asked this a lot....And that darned movie didn't help.

Can someone tell me when it IS acceptable for a boat to return without a head count and roll call? The only thing I can think of is if someone is very badly injured, and needs to be taken for help....But....do you leave a group (i.e. more than one) of divers at sea even then? I thought you called the Coast Guard or something.

Again, I am not a boat operator, but I have made many boat dives many different places. I simply do not see ANY excuse for leaving divers out in the ocean. Please correct me if I am wrong......Cause I do believe that if this happened to me, me and the boat operator will be having a "Come To Jesus..." meeting when I did get back.....:-(
