Whole last month I have been DMing with my LDS . I found that ( as tour guide) 60% of the divers like to swim fast during the dive and run all over the place instead of taking it slowly and enjoy the beautiful marine life. I can never find things when I'm literally runnning underwater like "the goby and the shrimp in action or the tiny blenny hopping over porites or a honey combed moray sticking its head out of a hole". When you show stuff like these to most people they watch for half a minute and loose interest and tends to move on. Is it because they paid for two 50 minutes dives depending on their consumption and NDL they want to cover more distance? Or they expect to see only big species like sting rays, groupers? We have a system of providing briefing on the boat on the various marine species we encounter on the dive sites, but they do not have much significant effect. Children are much better and generally have more patience under water. Can you people suggest how to make more interested and enjoy the dive in a leisurely manner.
I know buoyancy is definitely an issue with these divers as they do not want to come closer and hover at one place to watch?
Any suggestion to improve my capability as a tour guide will be most welcome.
