The biggest thing I ask of anyone in any of the groups I put together is to respect the other divers. Most of my group are adults, so nothing ever has to be said. It`s just a "given" with us.
We had about the same thing happen at Rainbow River just a few weeks ago. A group of "non-divers" (they were just people in scube gear) came up from behind us and destroyed the viz in Rainbow River. Took it from 60 feet to about 4. They were complete idiots. If it had silt on it, they either went through it, kicked it or stood on it. It was unbeleivable these people even had c-cards. Of course,that`s what we get for going on a Holiday Weekend.
Lesson learned: Go during the week or the off-season.
