Please understand that the following a purely a hypothetical I have know first hand knowledge of any such event having ever taken place, especially not at Ginnie recently.

Is a 4 or 5 person dive team a bad idea? I think so and something like the following could be a reason......but you decide:

Lets say you are bringing up the rear in a 4 or 5 person dive team and really don't know the people you are diving with very well but are in fact somewhat familiar with them.

You're swimming up a slightly silty area and get caught in the line!!!!! Now with all of the lights, silt and confusion you get left behind and are forced to start hacking away at gold line......forcing a repair and an unpleasant end to your dive and day.
