Final answer:

When a group drift dive separates, students should have a predetermined plan to follow when they lose sight of the group.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the student and his buddy stopped to take a photo during their group drift dive, the group appeared to have drifted around a corner when they looked up.

To catch up, they swam a little faster but couldn't find the group after rounding the corner, even with good visibility.

Unless planned otherwise, in such situations, they should have a predetermined plan to follow when they lose sight of the group.

This plan should include procedures for regrouping or returning to a predetermined location.
