In my thread about solo diving, a number of people made comments about enjoying being alone because they can putter around in a very small area, or just hang and watch what's going on around them. On another board, I read a lot about people doing dives with scooters and covering a lot of ground. And in the dives I've done with a guide, the guide usually moves right along, most of the time faster than I would ideally like to go. Yet, when I led a group dive while we were in the Caribbean, everybody thanked me for the very slow pace I set.
So clearly, there are different styles, and they may be related sometimes to the purpose of the dive -- photographers go slow, hunters go fast, people doing surveys need to cover ground.
What's your style, and is it related to a secondary activity?
