This thread comes out of two things. One is that the thread discussing Quero's death has claimed that one of her dive group tried to dissuade her from swimming in underwater and alone, but she said she would be fine. The other is that we were getting ready to go cave diving today, and one of my buddies had a very slow DIN o-ring leak found on bubble check, and he wanted to ignore it and dive anyway. I found myself in the uncomfortable position of trying to get him to come around to the idea of fixing it instead, when he clearly didn't want to bother.
So that got me thinking about high risk behaviors, and what you do when your buddy's risk tolerance is clearly different from yours. In my case, today, if I had had to, I was prepared to say that I was not going on the dive until the leak was fixed. (Luckily, it didn't get that far.)
So do any of you out there have stories of situations like this? How did you handle it? Were there any hard feelings or problems afterwards?
