I'm heading down to Akumal in a month with my LDS. This will be my first trip down there. I've got 7 cave dives since I got my full cave card. I was thinking just let the people who've been there a couple of times set the reel (I've heard that you can spend an entire dive just looking for the line) and then me an my equally inexperienced buddy do our dive without the guide as I've heard of their propensity to do visual jumps and not mark tees. Sure, we might miss some of the more interesting formations but I'm thinking it reduces the risk of slipping into follow-the-leader mode.
