It sounds like Bruce, a guy we met out at Cocos a few years ago and nearly left for the sharks!

I've done that plenty of times where what I am taking is too small to be noticed. The guy would just pass by because its not something he could see with a passing glance. The only time he will spend time on hard to see things is if he finds it or is called over by the guide.Where I have had a person like that on a previous trip, where they'll come and jam the GoPro into your shot, or come in and kick up silt around you. I may have taken photos, while in their view, of nothing and then point out to them a rough area as I'm moving away for that person to then come over and occupy their time looking for nothing, while I'm off getting other photos undisturbed
Maybe they are just air hogs, especially the type of conditions in galapagos. Some people thinks 40 minutes is enough while people like me have to be dragged out of the water.I was on a trip to the Galapagos, and everyone on the trip opted to pay the nominal fee for the nitrox except for one couple. That couple was in my group. At the end of every dive, we would surface and be picked up by our panga, and that couple would already be on board, sitting there bobbing on the surface while we were diving. We all agreed that they were absolutely nuts to spend thousands of dollars for a trip like that and miss so much diving because they cheaped out on the nitrox.
Then spend three hours hogging it and not allowing others to see it.The only time he will spend time on hard to see things is if he finds it or is called over by the guide.
