Go on boats that cater to hunters, it's ironic, but they seem to understand and give each other, (and me), plenty of space.

Diving with Photogs can be a hassel. Along with the majority, I just hang back and let the crowd go.. or get in front, but then the dust cloud passes by, so usually stay above, below or behind the crowd.
Another incident up here we had a dive instuctor from Idaho who actually HIT !! Punched !! another diver several times. It as at a Rock Jetty, the typical dive profile is just dive along and look at stuff. A lot of classes are held off in the sandy/rocky bottom away from the jetty per se... the jetty gets crowded with divers doing the route and passing above, over, around each other etc... typical dive day.
Well apparently this instructor decided to have his class right in the path next to the jetty... a diver, not knowing it was a class came accross them, vis typically is 10-20'and this guy just started punching (as best one can do underwater) him.. the diver moved of course.
When asked above water the instructor stated he was having a class and that the diver was interrupting it... heheh..geesh, how rude...
Anyway, all that to say, doesn't need to be just photogs... others just have not sense of common courtsey.. the instructor in a class in the middle of the normal dive path...
Sigh, just has to get better?? hehheh... ;-)
