If dive with an op that limits dives to 45 minutes, I don't go out with that op a second time (and I usually do ask before booking if there is a limit on bottom time, other than my air and computer).
In my opinion it is just as rude to expect someone to limit their bottom time as it is to make someone wait for another diver to finish their dive.....maybe more so.
If I am going to be in a hurry to get back to shore, I shouldnt get on the boat.
If I am going to get cold between dives, I should bring a boat coat.
If I am going to get bored I should bring a book.
If I am going to be so hungry I cant wait to get to where the boat will be for surface interval, I should stick some fruit or a granola bar in my dive bag.
I dont ask anyone to stay down longer than they are comfortable with and I dont appreciate anyone asking me to come up before I am ready to come up (unless there is an emergency of course).
