Well, as I said it was my first such dive trip. All my other dives were local shore or boat dives.
I know the areas, and we usually have a simple plan, such as dive down to around 30m until one of us reaches 100 bar. Then slowly make our way up to the top of the reef, swim around at around 15m until we hit 50 bar, and then up a 5m safety stop. The boat captain usually gives us an hour.
Possibly, as this was my first such trip, my expectations may have been a little high.
Only the divemaster and I had computers or any type of timing device. The others did not even have watches. So basically, we had to make sure they were above us at all times.

But surely if you are diving at a totally unfamiliar sight, you can not really plan your own dives?
Most of the input has to come from the divemaster who is experienced at the dive sites.

I don't plan on filing a complaint. I think in future I will ask all the questions I think relevant, upfront prior to booking the trip.
