Here's my take on it... generally the same approach regardless of details.
If you have need of the gas in your buddy/bailout/pony, YOU switch to it... handing a bottle off to a diver who has a skill level that allows them to run out of gas will not have a happy ending.
Here though is a different scenario
Diver swims up to you, gives you OOA and points to the pony... whole different procedure.
- Don't think it'll go like an S-Drill
- Always assume stressed
- Donate long-hose
- Take control of him/her before they take control of you
- From a controlling position make your way to SS
- If the stressed diver has his/her stuff together, perform SS
- Surface
- Make 'em buoyant
