Well, if you are a newbie, then just do as you are told and deal. Now if that is not the case and you really know what you are doing and have the dives to back that up, then I say, BE QUIET!!!
The only way they are even going to notice is if you say something. The captain is usually dealing with the boat, not watching you monkey with your gear. Keep what you are doing to yourself and no one will probablly even notice.
