Just thought I'd point something out based on a thread from another area of the board. When you're hot drop diving in a 2-3 knot current on a deep wreck that will require deco, it's never a good idea for everyone to wait until the first gas switch to shoot markers/bags.
Make it easy for the captain to know where to expect your bag to pop-up and deploy it just off the wreck. I pretty much thought this was SOP for everyone but clearly it is not.
In this case, all the divers cut their dive short by 10-15 minutes so not only wasn't the captain not expecting bags yet, the divers were a 1/4 plus mile past the boat went the bags went up.
