The following post is one of a series of threads resulting from a collaboration between [user]Bubbletrubble[/user] and myself.
We have divided the What if...? idea into a series of topics and posted the main thread as a sticky here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ne...514-what-if-what-do-when-things-go-wrong.html
Please Read The Following Bullet Points Carefully!
Physiological Issues
* What would you do if you started feeling really cold on a dive...so cold that it was difficult to think clearly?
* What would you do if you found yourself breathing really fast/hard underwater and the reg felt like it wasn't giving you enough gas?
* What would you do if you're finning hard to keep your head above the surface of the water...and you're getting tired?
* What would you do if you were unable to equalize/clear ears on ascent (reverse block)?

Please Read The Following Bullet Points Carefully!
- Our intent for this discussion is to get newer divers thinking, not spoon feed them the answers.
- We're going to ask that the more experienced divers don't just jump in with responses to every scenario.
- Instead, we want this to be a two part exercise for newer divers by doing the following:
- Quote a given scenario and
- (1) discuss what they would do given the situation
- (2) talk about how to avoid getting into that situation in the first place.
- Then the more experienced divers can give follow up comments on insights on those answers.
