I've had people "help" me with my equipment resulting in:
Busted mask
Wrenched back
Both falling (x3)
Blown hose (x2)
Gear offboard
Broken fin strap
Ripped wetsuit zipper (x3)
Tank turned off (x10+)
Gear misplaced
Camera port scratched (x3)
Cheaper camera flooded (x2)
(All that experienced by a diver who the majority of the time dives solo.)
Despite all that I love help and enjoy a community where we lend a hand without hesitation.
For me: Please ask what help is welcome and listen to the specifics of the reply.
What's the nicest way you've figured how to welcome help from fellow divers?
What's that conversation sound like when with new dive buddies?
