the only time I have ever run out of air is when I have allowed myself to run out of air.
with students I would use them (octo)
solo to 30 m cesa
tech or cave, it will never happen without catastrophic gear failure, then I would only be with someone that I would trust my everything with.
That includes not only my life, but my daughters life/future. If I wouldnt trust them to be a true godparent for my four year old daughter, I wont dive with them. That is the responsability they have when they dive with me and the responsability I have for my buddy when I dive with them in an overhead environment.

cancun mark:
I'm not to sure it's wise to enter into a life threatening situation WITH the person that's supposed to look after your daughter if something were to happen to you... unless I'm missunderstanding what you're saying and you're simply stating how much trust you have in said person.

Obviously: Prevent it.
Back-Up Plan: Buddy's Air - isn't that the main reason we dive with buddies?
I'm planning on buying a small pony - what do you think is an appropriate size? I'd want to be able to do a controlled ascent from 130 ft with enough for a 5 minute safety stop.. with some to spare.

With 600 dives, I have never come close to OOA. I always dive with the guy who services my regs even when I'm solo. Still I'll either carry a pony, dive with a good buddy, or stay shallow enough that a CESA is not a big problem. Usually 2 or 3 combined.
