I don't know if that can be taught but for the instructors please pound this into new divers heads. I was at the Mines in September and I was hit more times under water than I was playing rugby.

1. Don't swin into other divers.

2.If you do swim into another diver, acknowledge you did it and try not to do it again.

3. Look up and down, left and right not just straight.

4. Don't swin up on another diver to get ahead of them to swin through a small hole first. If you're behind, wait.

5. Don't leave your buddy

Thats why when I go on a trip I will stay at the end of the group. Most of the neat stuff that the people in the front scare away will come back in a few minutes.

If you like bumping try a night dive. They aways turn into a cluster flop.

 

Hammerhead, Whats wrong with pissing in my mask???
