I dive solo so I don't have to deal with this. I do remember one time I agreed to a pick-up buddy. We were at the far end of the dive park. I was filming something and keeping an eye on her through the reflection in my rear port. She disappeared and I didn't catch it for a short time. When I looked up, she was nowhere to be seen. I searched the bottom for about two minutes, then slowly surfaced and checked above. No sign of her. Returned to "depth" (about 35 ft) and looked a little more, then surfaced and swam in to get help and call the paramedics. As I started up the dive park stairs, there she was already dressed and heading out for drinks with some guys she had just met.
I chewed her out and read her the riot act for leaving me. She replied something to the effect "I knew you would be OK." I replied "Yes, but I didn't know YOU would be. I've been searching for your body." Kind of hoped she overdid the drinking and got a bit green around the gills on the boat crossing back to the mainland.
