The shortest one that I have ever witnessed was on a trip to Nassau. There were only 3 divers in our group and we had been diving with Stuart Cove all week so the crew got to know us. Because there were only 3 of us, we always got added to another group. As we approached one dive site, the DM looked at the 3 of us and said "You 3 have been here before right? Nothing has changed in the last couple days. The Pool is open for you guys as soon as the boat stops. Enjoy the dive before the site fills up when everybody else jumps in." I think we were in the water before the anchor hit the bottom.
As for what I want to see/hear in a Dive Brief:
Dive Site name
Dive Site layout / map (including depths)
Notable features (things to look for)
Wildlife that may be found here
Is a DM going in the water & what will they be doing?
There are however certain dive briefings that are "worth their weight in gold". If anyone has been on the Turks & Caicos Explorer and heard a dive briefing from Pippa or her sister Bunjee Jo, then you have seen the funniest and the best in the business.
