Along the lines of Finnmom, be self sufficient. Get your gear ready yourself. Make sure you're all set yourself and that your air is on yourself. DO NOT let the crew screw with your gear. They may offer to set up your next tank for you. Do it yourself. They will very likely turn your valve to confirm your air is on before you stride of. DO NOT LET THEM. Either verbally tell them you've checked and are good or if you don't want to be confrontational put your ref in your mouth and sag in your hand and take several breaths showing them that you're able to do your own checks. I can not tell you after 20 years of diving how many times I've been on a boat and the mate checking people's valves actually shut them off. On top of that you need to be self reliant. There's nothing wrong with asking for help but every diver should be self aware and self sufficient.
Get in the habit of checking your gas by breathing on your reg just before you stand up to walk to the jump off point. I usually have my equipment assembled and checked before the boat leaves the dock and I leave the gas turned on. On one charter I did a second check and found it was turned off! Apparently, the DM absent-mindedly turned the gas off when he made a quick check of everyone's gas just before arriving at the destination.
On some charters the crew person assisting the divers in getting into the water will check that the valve is on and remind you to add gas to your BCD but don't count on this. Not everyone does this check.
