Getting separated from the group on a drift dive off the FL mainland in not uncommon. Make sure you have your own SMB and reel. The groups may be separated but are generally in a line, so not all that difficult to pickup. Also unless you can hit the NDL and are diving the max Nitrox for the depth, plan on surfacing separate from the group. You should stay with your buddy assuming you have one.
Drift diving is generally not difficult even towing the flag. I like Jupiter where you have DM's in the water to do flag duty (or did). I have not dove FL recently.
