His top side discussions (if that is what you could call them) may be a sign of pre-dive stress. He may be thinking, "If I present myself as elite, maybe nobody will care".
You can always talk loudly to your buddy, where the offender can hear, and say "Man, am I glad we don't have any of those folks who kill the coral by touching it. I hate it when people grab the reef!"
Act like you have been offended on prior dives by this activity. "Someone who knows all you do about diving must be driven crazy by people who don't realize the reef is a living structure and actually touch it."
Sarcasm can be instructive and not quite as stuffy.

Common slur is that old school british wreck divers have no buoyancy skills. Maybe this is a New England thing.
It was an attempt at humor. I was hoping the OP would say yes. It would have been very funny to me.
I don't really tink this is true, and the only british guy I have ever dived with had perfectly adequate buoyancy skills and he didn't touch the coral.
What did DM have to say?
