Ok, I think maybe some people going a little overboard regarding this video.
There are different kinds of divers and different kinds of dives. Sometimes it's a blue water hover and wait, sometimes it's a nice drift along a reef wall, sometimes a slow kick over a reef for macro subjects, sometimes lobster pickin, and sometimes just a fun dive with no particular objective. So what.
But besides some techniques, I don't see anything offensive about that video.
You seem to suggest they just have a fun vs somber approach, with some technique issues. I finally watched the full video.
Bad:
- left a diver 2 minutes behind descending
- settle out by kneeling, standing, or sitting
- pull down to descend while negative
- ignore a PO2 and UP warning (4:46), signaling ok
- faff about for 2 minutes with an UP warning (6:37)
- kick the sand bottom swimming about and off.
- swim about for a bit with their tank hanging by the hose
- do not seem to have good buoyancy. Most are kicking up to hold depth.
- all seem to go vertical when still
Good:
- seem to have a planned 60 stop (10:50), maybe a safety deep stop (good ish, but it's a 2013 video)
- stop for two minutes+ (12:50-13:50 or -15:00?)
- one of them has their eyes glued to their dive comp
- level off again (16:47) presumably for safety stop
- seem fine removing regs (mid water) and clearing a mask (kneeling)
I think the tendency for all that bad, which they are strong at, should get sorted out above say 60', 30', or in the pool, not at the recreational limit of 130'. They did not belong at that depth. It has nothing to do with survey, clean-up, or goof off style of dives. Just my 2 cents.
