I come back to my first post. Even with experienced divers, a stick and GoPro rapidly take over the spatial awareness and brain function.
I think you are on the right track with this. For example, the first time I really got irritated with this issue was last year while snorkeling on Utlila when my excellent view of a whale shark was blocked by the appearance of a stick and camera. The stick and camera person then dove directly down toward the whale shark -- something the dive master just minutes before had explicitly asked us not to do !!! I talked with this young lady on the boat -- she did not seem like a jerk - it was almost like once stick and camera were in hand she was oblivious to everything except getting the footage.
