I have been known to tell people that in case they cant reach me shoot me. I would prefrebly like them to avoid aiming at the nads but whatever happens get me to the surface. As far as if you can't reach me don't dive with me I think thats a lot of Hooie ..... cause I have read stories of experienced divers that could not reach thier buddy cause of the adrenaline rush. Those are physiological attributes that you or anyone else cannot control no matter the experience or the skill of the diver. Furthermore; you will only get one chance to rescue your drowning pal. If you miss, by the time you reach the surface and start your way back down to 80 -90 feet your buddy is already shaking hands with his maker. There are physiological exeptions to this I suppose but I believe and it is of my opinion that if you only have one chance don't miss the shot. This means you pick me up or shoot me. That way at least they find my body.
I have had an overpowered AB biller go off in the boat. The trigger mechanism slipped and I have a hole in the innerliner in the boat to prove it. When people ask me if they should unload thier guns when getting in the boat I just point at the hole
