Well, this thread went downhill fast.
However, I wanted to add something about people sometimes being unaware that they are kicking up sand, and sometimes, just a little sign while still underwater will help them. It happened to me recently in Cozumel. A fairly new diver had no idea she was kicking up the bottom, so I pointed to the trail she left, and she thanked me. This was on a sandy bottom, not a reef.
