At Rainbow Reef (Key Largo) we always gave a "be back time". The owner & GM insisted we allow 60 minutes from the time we said "pool is open" until they were supposed to be back to the boat.
In this way we knew when divers were overdue and had a specific idea when we needed to call for help looking for lost divers.
I was never a fan of open ended be back times for this very reason.
