You make some good points about swapping tasks around Neil - but I'm a little confused by your last paragraph. Someone should be running the deco before you get to the gas switch - so changing roles there is not great. In addition, the team should not really all be switching at the same time and whoever 'finishes first' should be watching the others not buildng a bag. The time that things are most likely to go wrong on a Tech 1 ascent are at the gas switch so taking yoru eye off the ball is not helpful.
Ok, so I missed a few details - yes someone was running the ascent up to the switch, but we found it helpful for the last person to switch to run from 21M up.
The person building the bag wasn't taking their eye off the ball particularly, just getting the spool and bag out of their pocket whilst watching the other two.

Bag off from 24 so that your team has a bag when switching or wait untiul everone has switched and are stable before shooting one.
Both reasonable options I guess. Sending them up deeper than 21M wasn't really an option on the course and typically the bag was only
sent once everyone was stable.

That's if the skipper is content with bags being sent up mid water - soem are, some aren't and some wrecks don't permit us the luxury.
If you had a bag up when you reach a switch (which you always will have at higher levels) then the person managing the bag can watch the other two swicth then the first to finish that can take it over.
True enough - I was just using it as an example of how the roles can and will switch around the team during the dive
