Iank - any spearo who exits the water with his gun still loaded is a fool at best, full stop.
I've been spearfishing for 38 years, first thing I learned and first thing I taught my son, never load your gun on land, never return to land with your gun loaded.
Lethal weapon, plain and simple.
IMHO, you were quite right to be concerned, damn shame some other spearo has pointed out the obvious to him yet.
