George,

When reading your post about your teams of three divers, a question came to
mind, which I'm sure you know the answer to:

Do you select team members to work together based upon their gas usage rates?

I'm sure not all of your divers have the same rates, so do you classify
them as to gas performance?  Are these checks done before each dive (in
case you've got someone with a minor chest cold that turns them into a
Hoover)?

Do you simply work until one of the three members reaches a certain point
in his gas managment, and begin your exit?  Or does each diver carry the
amount of gas that he himself requires for the duration of the dive?

You guys have some serious gas managment to work out for the kinds of
exposures you describe, which made me wonder about the answers to these
questions.

Just curious.

Kevin.
