I have been diving for over 40 years and travel the world. I just returned from two weeks diving in the South Pacific with my family and came away disappointed in the way they want you to dive. Of the two diving operations I dove with, it seems they put one guy in front and another in the back and start marathon swimming. I am a hole crawler. I like to sit in one place and wait to see what happens. I move slowly and peek into all the nooks and crannies. I have found that hitting the water and swimming like hell scares the crap out of the various creatures and you only see a smattering of what's there. One operation had a tank bangers on the dive masters that I would have loved to pound up his ***. BANG,BANG,BANG shark! BANG,BANG,BANG manta! BANG,BANG,BANG humphead wrasse! BANG,BANG,BANG shark! All this banging drove me nuts. If I wanted to hear banging I'd go to a scrap-yard.
I'm introducing my grandchildren to diving and they did not seem to like the pace either. They are on their high school swim team and involved in other athletic activities, so it's about being physically fit.
So my question to posters is; Is this the way people like to dive? If so, I may have to find another activity.
