All those bail out drill's during class certianly kicked in fast, I had my bailout reg in my hand to his mouth so fast I didn't even think about it, didn't even search for the reg, hand knew right where it was, kinda erie in a way.. anyway the post dive analysis:
During the dive my buddy showed me his computer that has a wireless transmitter showing him he had 1050-ish psi, this was a not possible number as he was diving double 100's and his tanks where full, we checked before the dive and there was no bubbles at bubble check or during the dive. I looked at his spg and it read 3300... yeah, you know what happened, but underwater I failed to think about it. I was consentrating on the Rebreather and making sure I was right and he is an expierenced diver although hasn't been in the water in a bit. So during the dive I just thought the transmiter was being wonky again I should have known better, I have more experience diving doubles then he does but I had tunnel vision.. mind clicked that transmiter wasn't right and that was the problem, spg read fine (if 3300 after 35 minutes was fine) so we continued the dive instead of solving the problem.
During the dive his neckless back up reg came lose, I'm not a big fan of those stupid rubbery neckless's and now he isn't either so when the shit hit the fan, it wasn't there..
Before the dive I was doing my thing, getting the Meg situated, making sure I wasn't missing anything, getting hot as hell, so instead of checking him out before we both headed to the water I headed down to get in while prebreathing..
His Isolater valve was closed, we don't know how but it was. Everything turned out ok but I feel like a Moron for not knowing what was going on when he noticed a problem that could have turned out very badly, He don't blame anyone but himself for it, he knows he should have checked when he was getting everything together but still, I was his buddy and was so focused on my thing that it could have gotten him killed.
CHECK that your Iso valve is OPEN
CHECK that your back up reg is where it's supposed to be
WHEN something isn't right underwater STOP and FIX it or call the dive.
If your the buddy, BE a BUDDY, just because your distracted doesn't mean someone elses life wont be in your hands..
I'm a bad buddy and feel like crap but like every other OS moment I've had underwater I will never make that mistake again and I know he won't either.
