Notes:

For our third scenario, Mike and Sylvain went into the water early and when they came up, Mike called that they had a missing diver, last seen to the North of the barge. Theresa, Phil, and I quickly decided to search in an expanding square pattern, but our plan was compromised when we searched inside the boat, and then abandoned our expanding square before finding the missing diver. Mike eventually retreived us, and we resumed the exercise by floating a nonresponsive diver [Sly] to the surface and planning our extraction. It seems the exercise is more about the process than the result, but I couldn't help but be disappointed not to have found the diver. We ended up repeating a search pattern later with different results...
