Rig,
So what your saying is with the way you dive, it doesn’t reality matter how good the other diver is, because chances are neither of you are going to be there if one gets into trouble. Well that’s a pretty honest answer and I will have to admit that my usual dive partner and I lose each other too. But sticking with each other is our goal. We remind each other all the way out, and at times, we stop diving until we have found each other again. Sometimes we separate when one has equipment problems or when returning a fish to the boat, but then we usually are pretty conservative until the other can get back.
We used to have the goal of getting the most and biggest fish. With that goal we seperated a lot more. We purposely changed our goals too enjoying the dives and considering the fish an added bonus. It doesn’t always work, but it’s our goal and currently I would estimate that we are there for each other 70% of the time.
