"I would be surprised if a lawyer would take this on a "no-win, no-fee" basis. I would imagine the chance of winning the case is not good and scuba instructors aren't known for making huge amounts of money. I say this, because the student would be suing the instructor personally - I can't see how the instructor's private behaviour could be connected to the dive company employing them - which may well have deeper pockets."

Well, if the instructor has insurance, or the dive shop (which has insurance) can be involved, then that's a whole other kettle of fish.
My concern in this discussion is with whether instructors and dive masters face potential liability, not whether any given lawsuit will be economically feasible.
