My perspective on buddying up with a new diver like many have said is dependent on the situation. If I have been DMing on a particular day or gone up for weekend of fun dives and a new diver wants to do do a nice simple shallow fun dive when I am not working that's fine. I know that I will be a baby sitter and and and that's fine because I signed on for it. I also know that I may end up with an inexperienced diver on some of our fun dives and that is my option.
If I have paid for a charter or if I have traveled long distances, warm water or wrecks, I generally do not want to be a baby sitter, I just want to enjoy my dive.
