Poor divers in general, they don't listen to the dive briefing because they are too excited about getting in the water for the first time in a year.
 
Gets stuck in the cave behind you - blocking your only exit.
Gets entangled in the line behind you, breaking it and silting out to zero vis.
 
They can geab the anchor line to stop their acsent, thus pulling the anchor off the bottom.

New buddies that have not mastered the "one leg is stronger than the other fin kick" is always crashing into you. And if you switch to the other side you're constantly chasing them.

They beat you to the parking lot where you're going to launch the boat and then take the last spot.
