Bob and Steve, thank you for moving the thread. I agree.
Steve,
If I misinterpretted your post I appologize. But, the statement "Of course my intention was to lure him deeper. I hardly had to try at all, as was expected." does lead me to believe you were leading the dive and you intentionally lured/tricked him/her deeper. I also assumed you were his buddy as you hadn't mentioned any other divers. I see little difference in whether it was "you" leading them deeper or another instructor (person of authority) leading them. Also, if you weren't his/her buddy, I again assume the other instructor was
My questions is:
How would one lure someone else deeper other than leading them there? If there were indeed two instructors and one student as you indicate above (hope I am not misreading it again) did the other instructor lead them down? If not being led deeper, how did you do it? I am truly curious to know.
There are many different methods of teaching and many different types of students. I just personally believe the method you describe is counterproductive. At least for me.
Looking forward to learning more from your methods as I am always ready and willing to increase my inderstanding of this wonderful sport.

PS... Had to add, I now have a small red spot on my forehead. Just got back from a short (11 minute, 17 feet) pond dive. The red spot came from the concrete block I turned into with the 1-2 foot viz. At least we got wet. Bummer was I had my new scripted lenses in my mask for the first time. $157 to see 2 feet. ilot: Kinda like goin instrument with no guages...
