Your last response bears little relevance to this initial "analysis." Analysis never starts with assumptions like this, in this case that it can be made safe. You just invented the scenario.

I don't think you understand analysis.

Rage... :rolleyes:

Depends on your current situation... ;) 50-ish.

I suspect you don't regularly dive with drysuits. Suit floods happen often, I've had lots of buddies get floods, and there's no impeded leg movement. No idea why you think there would be. Thermal shock and heat loss are an issue, but I've known guys with full suit floods continue the dive for...

No way a drysuit valve failure would lead to loss. Plenty of buoyancy in the wing/bcd, and it takes time for a suit to flood. Not a biggie.

SCUBA Tec just posted this on Facebook:

I suspect the addition of HPNS tremors might affect that.

What would keep his reg sealed in his mouth? :shocked2:

I imagine I would try to have my wife admitted to a psychiatric institution if the first three didn't work....

And if you found out there was a danger as real and probable as HPNS at 350m?

Someone earlier suggested it might be fixed/embedded, sounds unlikely to me.

Agreed, but if it was dropped by the dive operator, it's probably just a long line with a big-ass weight on the end; if it was sunk by a proper commercial outfit it might be fixed, giving more hassle to retrieve it.

The local dive shop (Scuba Tec) who were supporting him dropped the line. Sorry, I misremembered that, stcroixscuba posted: "There was a question about the line. Dr. Garman had contracted with a commercial dive company here to sink a 1,300' line anchored by a 250# anchor." Nope, stcroixscuba...

As no-one would be going to get it, I assume they were going to pull the rope. Without any means in place to do so... :/

BBC News - St Abbs search for missing diver called off :(

Yes, Sand Tiger is also known as Grey Nurse, not aggressive like the Tiger shark.

Very little detail about incidents on YD anyway, the Incidents forum is largely a waste of time.

You can be on the surface but breathing out starts to make you sink, if you haven't filled BCD. Swamped by a wave at the same moment could have the same effect. Seems unlikely you'd have reg out in seas that rough though.
