After reading docmartin's recent post what would you have done? I considered how minimal emphasis, with all due respect, is given to emergency surface detection equipment in the PADI OW course.
Should surface detection equipment be mandatory for all divers? I would think so. It seems concomitant with being an independent diver.
If it is necessary equipment then shouldn't we be trained to check for such equipment during a buddy check?
It seems that it can never hurt to be safer both underwater and at the surface. If so then then maybe this should be better reflected in diver training.
