What Roatan Joe is saying might have some validity. My ex-wife loved to go on cruises. Let her see many ports and I got to dive many ports. Some of the worse divers I have ever seen were once a year divers from the cruise ship. I would say however that the majority of people on the cruise ship excursions were average divers. Some were new but not bad. Some were seasoned divers who just decided to get some dives in while on vacation. But there was almost always 2 or 3 divers who were just horrible (diving with no exposure protection and wearing 30 lbs of lead, using the inflator as an elevator button, standing on the coral, etc.).
Maybe it was the cruises I went on but 90% seems to be an exaggeration. However, you just need one twit to make a dive horrible. I just learned to find a buddy, go off and do our own thing, come back to the boat when we are ready. Before I get wet I make sure the boat master remembers me so the dive boat doesn't leave without me.
