Hey gang,
At the risk of beating this horse even further, I witnessed something in Cozumel last week that was really kind of baffling.
Diver on my boat was asked twice to remove his gloves and knife because they aren't allowed in the park. He just refuses. No explanation given. He just sat there and stared at the DM and myself.
How much leeway is given here to the DM? Can he not allow the diver in the water over this?
Now for the editorial comment : This guy is an instructor. I certainly would expect an instructor to behave in a much more suitable fashion. You'd think they would try to set a very good example to other divers. Not this guy. He was repeatedly asked to stop grabbing the coral to get his photos. Then again for laying on the coral to get a shot. I just couldn't even be near the guy. It was way too frustrating. I'm one of those divers that feels guilty for poking one finger in the sand to hold a position...
