    The best piece of advice here is to never give up. As long as there's still air in your cylinders, you better be trying to get out.

    I agree with "never give up", but I also agree that you shouldn't put yourself in danger looking for someone who might already be out, or who might be better off if you went for help.

    I can agree with "never give up", but "never get up" is a little defeatist.

    I don't suppose you ever made a typo? If you would like, I can dig back through your posts and find a few dozen

    Thank you Jill and I have been following your blog.
    Your report and another I found last week have been ringing in my head for a while.
    I appreciate your thoughts and willingness to allow us to be in on the debrief of your dive.
    These dives teach us as individuals but when shared teach us all.
    Thank you.

    Thanks again, Jill, for sharing your story and your thoughts. I'd still be willing to dive with you.
