Learning when to call a dive is, IMHO, one of the most important lessons that can be learned in diving. Note that I said learned because, again IMHO, there is not enough focus on it generally in courses.

The rules for calling a dive (for me anyway):
1) Any dive can be called at any time and that includes before getting wet.
2) Diving should be fun - if not call it and figure out why it isn't
3) No recriminations for calling the dive - I might ask why but I will never berate anyone for their action

A very important lesson is that it is better to be on the surface wishing you were under the surface than under the surface wishing you could be on the surface!
 
Could happen. Already bought her presents, but she ought to get something for bringing a 4.0 home from college.
That's 4.0 out of 4 in the U.S., correct? I think we go out of 5 up here.

Yes, 4 out of 4.

That plus her correctly calling a dive= MTM drysuit. She will be cold again.
