Thanks for the replys
 I think I may need to explain a little more.

 On the dive in question it was at the end of a very good dive my buddy has around 50 dives under their belt,so not a trainee.The profile was fairly square 23 mtr max, dive time 30 mins.We were putting up dsmb when they developed floaty feet I tried to chase to 7 mtrs before retuning to 12 and ascending normally. Bottom line basically buddy had poor control of their bouyancy yes...How many of us havent had a problem at one time or another..Im guilty as charged your honor.

As for getting back on the horse:

First dive after this was on holiday in Mauritius.
Instructer was told of my "problem" by myself so after my buddy check his reply was" yep mines the same 1.2.3 lets go "before doing a backward role from boat. Shall I say I had some little words after the dive!

I then decided I needed to do the same wreck as the incident had happened on to "get rid of my Demons"
 My buddy is an advanced diver Bsac ,good diver whom i trust.
I have a little flap on way down before giving myself a talking to and getting down to wreck.
10 minutes into dive he develops a freeflow signals that we need to go up ,I offer my octo but he doesnt need it and breathes from his freeflowing reg to surface,great i think Jonah strikes once more but were both ok and get in the boat.

Then another two divers surface and are picked up before another two are noticed on surface.
 We approach them and they signal and inform us theyve had a rapid ascent.
One of them on my side has no feeling in legs.
we get them onboard administer o2 and call coastgaurd off they go to Aberdeen.
The emergency services are superb the RNLI brilliant.

Perhaps that may explain a little better why Im feeling like a Jonah.Im trying to come to terms with these incidents,it will take time i realise however if there is a tried and tested way of helping others cope with the guilt( i call these the what ifs) of these type of events i think here or on the other diving boards should feature them
