Help clean the boat after the day of diving. Don’t just disappear once the boat arrives at the dock/ramp.

Will try to look you up next time I get down there. If you get up here you can get on my boat I have a privateer. One of my friends who lives up here has a house on Paloma that I have stayed atIf you weren’t so far away, you’d be invited on my boat.
Lunch, beers, and gas money are great ways to make sure you’ll be invited back.
I realise I duplicated some of your list. Maybe those things that are duplicated are important. Good thread that might help people better enjoy their trip.@Ghost95 -- right on with your additions, and all others.

Luckily, my regular crew doesn’t do that. If they did, they wouldn’t be part of my regular crew.Do some people actually do that? SMH...
9. Do not be a jerk
10. Don't be a know-it-all even if you think you know more than the captain and crew.
A big ones for the group I usually dive with is that the "heavies" (i.e. those in doubles, sidemount, rebreather, etc.) get the stations closest to the entry/exit. Those diving single tanks sit farther from the entry/exit.
My personal rule is that me and all of my stuff should fit at my station (and under it). This includes my gear bag, my dry bag, my lunch, etc. Only bring on the boat what you are going to need. I stay in my space, you stay in yours.
