A team is required to make a branch dive run smoothly. I dive in a team of two.... usually

Buoyancy control is taught in all agencies. CCR divers have to learn it twice!

Standards in equipment - Cylinder(s) BC/wing/DV, freedom of thought?

Configuration - taught in my BSAC branch (I hate danglies!)

So not unique to any particular agency.
