The best dives I've had in the Keys were with DM's/guides that took their time, and kept to YOUR pace and not theirs! (seeing as I was PAYING them) A few times the "guide" seemed to be just swimming through the coral heads and not taking a pace that was conducive to taking photos or just SEEING what was there to be seen!
On one occasion, I was paired up with another guy with a camera, and in between dives we approached our guide and asked if he could slow it up a bit so we could take pictures. He semi-complied, but needless to say he didn't get the tip he would have!
I dove with BlueWater Divers in Key Largo (With Brent actually) And he kept the best pace, and we SAW a lot during the dive! (as my pictures indicate!) And it made a much more enjoyable dive to boot! (and that tank seemed to last FOREVER!)
Slow and steady! that's the way to do it!
