Temana - that's easy! SLOW DOWN. However fast you are going, it's too fast. Way too fast. Here's a story:

This past weekend some friends and I were out diving. She called me over and showed me a pair of nudibranchs. I gave her the OK. She shook her head and held up three fingers...then pointed to the pair, a different species of nudi and a hermit crab tucked in behind some stuff. All in the space the size of you monitor. Cool. I settled in to watch and take some photos. I hung there for several minutes. She has already been there for several minutes. As I was getting ready to leave I took a second to look over the rest of that monitor-sized area...lo and behold, there was yet another species of nudibranch not 3 inches away! So, the moral is...slow down. More...no, you're still going too fast!

The other thing that really helps is to take the time to watch the creatures, learn their habitats and habits and what...slow down. By taking the time over one bit you can see so much more than swimming around the whole site
