Im getting ready to take my first live aboard trip. Is there a protocol for taking other peoples pictures? I want to document the hold trip.

Best bet would be to ask. Odds are if you're open and friendly with your dive mates, they wont mind, but it would be polite to ask, just to make sure.

If you are going to publish a picture, or sell it, and the individual is recognizable you need to have a signed model release.
If you only want to take pictures in the hold, just make sure that you have a good flash. No reason to ask anyone else except perhaps the crew?
Do not take any of them naked. Unless you plan to post em here that is! And if ya do make sure the subjects are hot.
If by "protocol" you're asking what normally happens, everybody will be snapping like mad, then at the end of the week everybody will promise to send copies of their pictures as soon as they get them downloaded back home. Then you'll never hear from them again. It's infuriating.
Break the tradition, I say. Take tons of pictures and offer to share them with anybody who wants a copy. Bring a card reader with you so they can do the same. Everybody likes having underwater shots in their scuba paraphernalia, and obviously this is hard to do with the timer
Enjoy your trip...and don't forget your seasickness meds!
