I have to wonder if they asked you to leave more for your protection than theirs. Not sure how good samaritan laws or personal injury suits work in Egypt...
Aside from that, good job! Too many people with no clue what to do, and of those that do, too many that wouldn't get involved anyways...

OP
There are no such regulations in Egypt. Anyway I stayed there till the paramedics came and they took over.
I don't think they were trying to protect me but rather themselves. In case of any diving accident the diving centre is questioned and may loose the licence. So I was an unwanted witness who could make a testimony on the lack of skills of their instructor.
Whyat's the most important after all is that nothing serious happen to the boy.
Lamont - yea secure position is the one on the side with one arm under head and crossed legs - so the body will not fall over.
