Friend of mine wanted to know how DIR/GUE team does diver
positioning in clear, high vis water, non overhead situation,
for example, on holidays on Bahamas, single tank, max depth 18 mtrs,
vis 20-30 meters.
He wanted to know how you decide who leads the dive, where's
buddy situated to the "lead diver" (on the left, on the right, behind)
He also wanted to know in what formation to do dive when there are
more than 2 divers.
There is no 1 correct answer, it depends a lot on the conditions. If the divers don't have lights, or conditions are too bright for lights to work properly, then the divers will have to swim "wing to wing".
As to who leads the dive, and where are the rest of the team, that all depends on the divers, and the dive plan.
I know this doesn't actually give you an answer, but sometimes you just have to think
