You learn to read stress in yourself and in other divers, to prevent incidents, and to manage them when they happen: a tired or panicked diver at the surface, an unresponsive diver underwater, getting someone out of the water and onto oxygen. It is demanding, and it should be. Afterwards you watch your buddy differently.
