From diverchet:
What should the boat tender do if the anchor line breaks or if they need to move the boat with divers underwater? On a windy day on big water staying close to the dive site and not hitting surfacing divers is my worry. 
whatever you do ;; never, never, never....start the engine on a dive site !
if you are worried about BREAKING the anchor rode, you should inspect the ENTIRE line before deployment. a bouy ball will help, but I would hope that you set up a drift line , off aft with a bouy ball. if you do break off a mooring - drift away from the divesite , when you see ALL divers up top-fire up the engine come around to the high side of the wind/waves... and DRIFT into the site for pick up...
