So, how would you plan an expedition trip like this, and what safety procedures/guidelines would you put in place.....
It's going to be more than an hour.

Let's max it out. The first diver down has a run away ascent as he arrives back at the bottom of the shot. By the time the skipper and his mate have recovered the him from the water the others have done their bottom time and are committed to two hours on the bar. As the skipper is talking to the CG he sees the lazy start to drift with the tide. There is no recall but the last guy is still on a deep stop.

The first obvious trick I saw on one boat was an oxygen admin set with a bullnose fitting and a huge reel of hose. (Loyal Watcher I think)
