That's fair but my feeling is why does the group HAVE to go with the DM? I've never been on a livaboard where EVERYONE must follow the DM-I usually buddy up with someone and then we do our own thing. Either way I keep my distance from newer divers.
Some areas are protected and may require divers to dive with a DM. If it's just the boats policy, they may be unwittingly engineering their own demise.
