Ok, I get it. You want to play small. You'd rather sit in the bleachers and complain rather than play out on the court and contribute.

Let me be clear.

You let the impossibility of the goal stop you from even participating. Not only that, you drag others down with you.
The spirit of this thread was to start as comprehensive of a list as possible of contingencies that could be taken in the event that things go wrong, big or small. If "stay calm, find your buddy, get to the surface in a manner as to not die or get bent, and then maintain positive buoyancy" was all that anyone needed to know we wouldn't have a single thread in Accidents and Incidents. But that is not the case. Incidents range from minor scares to death. I believe that it couldn't hurt to have this contingency list.
