For us, both of the Koh Tachai Pinnacle dives we managed to descent directly from surface, still manageable, not required for negative entry. The visibility of water was getting lower and there were surge along the way. This dive leads by Pablo.
I was getting very irritating and uncomfortable as the water is keep seaping thru the mask, my air getting exhausted faster with mask clearing regularly while fighting the surge all the way.
The situation is getting worse when Pablo seems like a bit hesitate of the route, changing direction without planning, without considering the big group of members, which caused the cramped to each other. The worst part was he had not considered the dive profile especially when Jeffrey alarmed for 50 bar the minutes of 30 (myself also at 80 bar). Pablo reversed the direction, finning straight up along the wall from 18m to 10m which make us a "surprise" move. It's a also a bit chaos during safety stop as Jeffrey and Sam not able to maintain the neutral bouyancy which pulling others in the group.
