We have a similar drill. A pair of divers start at opposite sides of the
pool. One diver(diver A)faces the wall while at the other side his buddy
removes his SCUBA unit then swims to diver A without it (blowing bubbles :))
when he reaches diver A he must get his attention then give the out of
air signal. The reason they are not facing each other is so diver A
isn't sitting there with a reg in his hand when his buddy shows up. This
is also an interesting drill to watch and perform.
