I recently returned from Cozumel where I received my AOW and had a dozen more dives afterwards. On quite a few dives, the DM led us through reef swim-throughs that were quite narrow with several twists and turns. On one particular dive, there was no "light at the end of the tunnel" until we were half way through. I noticed several divers banging into the coral and if you were the last one in line, you were swimming through silt. I am fairly comfortable with my bouyancy skills, but I' far from expert.
I felt this had some of the dangers of cave diving (i.e. limited visibility, opportunities to make a wrong turn, no place to turn around, overhead obstructions etc.)
Is this a common practice?
