JT, If you still can spot the lost group, a helpful practice is to tie a big buoy to the anchorline ( divers would guess something's happened when they come up, and no boat shows) and the boat is free to go to help the lost diver/ group of divers ( in case you would want to balance going/ not going for help). A backcall signal can be applied to cal the other divers back sooner.
