Emergency ascent from 18 m (60 ft.) with only 200 psi left.

What happened: While we were drift diving at Playa del Carmen (Mexico), my father got too absorbed with filming a turtle and forgot to check his air gauge. Due to the strong current, he got quickly separated from our group. He only realized that he was low on air when his breathing became difficult (200 psi left). He tried to attract our attention, but nobody saw or heard him! He than bolted for the surface. After a while, we realized he was missing... Terrified, I tried to swim against the current to go back and look for him (not a good idea). The divemaster signalled me to reunite with the group, but I was too upset to obey. After a while, my decreasing air supply forced me to return to the group and ascend. In the mean time, my dad was alone at the surface, having drifted a considerable distance. After about 10 minutes, a boat spotted him. Everything finished well, but the whole experience could have ended really badly. Thank God for keeping my dad alive! Let this be a lesson for other novice divers.
