    Great point going the other way.
    Update your abandon ship procedures to eliminate any gender bias. "Children to the lifeboats first, no particular order". Sometimes the on water video is a s good as the underwater video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRVYmZQs2jY http://wavetheusaflag.com http://nicepirates.com My students know me as "Bubbles", ...the number one rule of scuba diving "Whenever the regulator is out of you mouth......"

    Sometimes you just have to call off rescue efforts, and let the diver, (without his shiny new gear and one of them thar fancy computer thingys) sink to the bottom with his weights. In time he will stop flailing if your "last aid" is successful.
