My Divemaster/Guide on a Raja Ampat divesite had his yoke tank valve O-ring fail at 12m early in the dive. I donated my 7' long hose, shut down his tank-valve, presented my SPG (like you're always supposed to do during a S-Drill ) with 180bar showing --and both of us deciding to continue the dive sharing air at 12m on what was a gorgeous reef. 20min later, we were back in the vicinity of the liveaboard and surfaced together with no buoyancy issues, after doing the requisite safety stop at 6m.
If it was a novice diver instead though . . .I would've aborted the dive and began the ascent to the safety stop as soon as s/he was calm and in control of buoyancy. . .
