The last point is particularly important to watch for when teaching experienced divers as they tend to think "oh look, he's done a mask removal", then do it their own way rather than the way you just demonstrated!

As jp said, the best thing you can do is have lesson plans for EVERYTHING worked out in advance - when I did the combined event last year I only got 30 minutes from the end of the TIE to plan my lesson, drive to the beach, eat my lunch and assemble my kit :o
