There is no question that the instructor used poor judgment. However I don't know if there was any standards violation since I do not know the details of the PADI teaching standards.
My liability question below was hypothetical. There is an obvious liability issue here. What is your liability as a DM to the student who observes unsafe instruction? What is the liability if you report the instructor and he/she accuses you of slander?
