HOLY CRAP. wow.Here some examples Bad buddies...
As you can see, it can go bad really quick...HOLY CRAP. wow.
This is as bad as the NDL run for the surface....
The 3rd guy let his newly graduated sil go almost ooa he had 500 psi when I finally checked his spg I gave him my octo and immediately surfaced where the instructor and myself promptly gave the fil an ass reaming so hard he couldn't sit down for a month.
Totally depends on the dive op and location. Here in So Cal, the DM will generally give a dive briefing that describes the dive site, depth, maximum dive time allowed for the dive, where you should be diving (point to point) and the prevailing current, if any.A quick question about the dive plan talk with your buddy...
Doesn't the DM give the dive plan? When you plan with your buddy, is it more about what hand signals they use, and how close together you want to stay... that sort of thing?
(And thank you *everyone* for all the great advice and answers)
One thing I haven't read is about is the diver that "swims" while diving. I know of one friend that denied his arms flailing about, until I accidentally caught on video (really, it was purely accidental).

I must be a d*mn good buddy then!Now like others have said a good dive buddy will be relaxed prepping their gear. smiling( this is an important one ) and will talk about the dive or ask about the dive
They will verbally refer to you and him as a team in one way shape or form ie: not make it all about him/her they will also let you know their limitations.and not be afraid or embarrassed about them.
But most importantly they will be happy with any dive as long as they get wet
