Many ops in the Keys will change gear over between dives, but I don't know of any that will set the gear up before the first dive for several reasons:
1. The Idea of rooting around someones dive bag is not cool.
2. Most expirianced divers develope preferences on set up.
3. (This one should be the most important reason...)Watching someone set up their gear can be a very useful assesment tool. This can give the observant DM indications as to who to keep an eye on.
4. (...,but in reality this is.) If you set up your gear and there is a problem with it the opporator is not held liable.
