| F*ck em. If they were better f'in divers it wouldn't have f'in happened. I'd liek to see you get that in somewhere, simply because it's true in the case of all diving incidents. That we've seen so far, anyway.
Scenario one repventable by carrying a backup mask (working on the basis of never taking a new bit of kit to cover another new bit of kit, the old mask would be easily accesible), and by having a reg necklaced where it is easy to reach and clear in the even tof a primary going. Not BSAC answers, but solves the problem. Might be worth getting them to think about equipment configuration as a solution to simple avoidable problems. Sports divers should be able to ascend with a buddy without a mask on. The dive leader should have been more switched on to resuce skills and been able to CBL the sport diver effectively.
Don't have time to cover scenario 2, got to go to work. Other than you should have a recall signal for the other divers.
Good luck with the course.
