Lets say I am a student in a Scuba class (OW or AOW), and the instructors pair up the students into a few groups of buddies. We're underwater and waiting to perform skills, and my buddy is having problems with his buoyancy. I've got buoyancy down pat, no problems. The teachers are busy with other students and haven't had a chance yet to check on us.
Do I assist him with his buoyancy, or should I let the instructors notice the problem and let them help him? I don't want to interfere, but when I see an obvious problem it's hard not to help. IE, I noticed he would hold down the inflate button for a few seconds, get too much air, let it out, repeat.. I could just show him to tap his inflate button, which might help.
What would be proper? Show the student how to fix things, point out the problem to a teacher, or just let the teachers do their things?
