| 1 casualty is far better than 2, it all depends upon your requirements. If you have a deco obligation then you have to make a judgement call, if you will miss a few minutes deco to get them to the surface then you might be prepared to do that, if it's a longer obligation then that's another matter. There is no simple answer to this question, it depends upon your profile, who the casualty is and the conditions at the time. It's a good idea to run through various scenarios in your mind but ultimately the conditions/situation on the day will influence what you can do.
