I see the concept buddy awareness dropped into the discussion now and then. Can you guys tell me more about this howd you describe a buddy or team member who is aware of his/her surroundings in a way that s/hed score high on your buddy awareness meter? What they do/dont do and how, what kind of attitude they have?
Is this terminology faction-bound and/or too obvious to be discussed? What could I do to get better at it? Its like I can imagine things this must include but there must be so many other things that havent even occurred to me yet. This was not covered much in the OW and even less in AOW (PADI). Basically the lesson was not to lose your buddy or respond to your buddys communications and thats it. Not really what I would call laying the brickwork for creating great buddy awareness.
