Any trip or dive at this level mean a very short list of dive buddies.If any of them called the dive at any point then its over no questions asked no explanation required.
Completely agree.
I have a VERY short list of people I would make a high risk dive with. And I am very happy to blow off a dive if someone is not feeling it. I'd just as soon get a beer, since I abstain for 5-7 days before my diving. Like this Friday.
I have a bottle of Chimay with my NAME on it for Saturday night though!
