So easy to second guess a situation like this. Who knows what kind of distress signal was given, uncomfortable or something more dramatic? Perhaps would have been better to accompany her to the surface and ensure buoyancy or maybe it seemed more minor. In general, I would assume a diver would somehow let me know what was needed. If this did not seem to be the case, I would err on the side of extra care until things declared themselves. Once on the surface, I would never hesitate to lose all weight to ensure buoyancy. If the BC was not connected, a couple of manual breaths would go a long way.
