Glad to hear your friend is ok. I knew someone who actually didn't make it out of a wreck dive (no one ever really figured out what happened) so I tend to be overcautious - at least before I throw on my drysuit, some year I'll get the hang of BC in it! Incidentally, any good recommendations for GBR dive operators when I do my segment of the OWE I'm about to start next month? Wasn't really planning to do a liveaboard unless its brief. Given I haven't gotten wet in a couple years and am still getting back into good shape wasn't also planning to be terribly hardcore about it either,
Regarding overnighting, keep in mind a lot of hotels have 6 pm cancel policies day of, so if you don't make your flight just call and resched, so you don't pay 2 nights hotel. Unless you're staying with friends that is...
The only desk I've found that really is good at reissuing RTWs is AA's LHR desk; they pulled a neat trick forcing an electronic conversion of 19 segments from a written ticket last time I was there. I'm sure there are others, but the thought of giving it to say an agent in the boonies would frighten me...
Edit after posting after saw this on another thread on this forum that made me laugh:

Guess CNS isn't the boonies after all! Still, try to avoid OWE reissues if at all possible.
