- I just don't log dives
I do almost entirely cold water diving, and do quite a bit of it. However I end up in the tropics once or twice a year on a cruise because non-diving friends and family want to go "someplace warm".
This generally means I end up on a boat dive with a bunch of random strangers, and a DM or two that plan on leading a tour.
The problem is that I don't like tours. I don't want to see the pet eel, or swim though the remains of a wreck that you go through three times a day. I want to drop down the mooring line, wander over to a chunk of coral and wait for stuff to come out and say "Hello." I'm perfectly happy to watch a 10' square patch of reef for the entire time you're leading around the rest of the group.
Do you really care if someone doesn't want to "follow the leader"?
