Any tangles occur in front of you, and you can clear them. >Add a squirt of air and let the line run up; don't tie it off. > > This might work when you are in your bedroom dreaming about diving, but get real. Or maybe you dive in warm clear water with with boats that will hurry and get you after your drift, most of us don't. Try a 200' ascent in 38 degree water, two knot+ current in 10 foot vis, surface in 3-7 foot seas somewhere in the same ocean as the boat you jumped off of, then tell me you'd be stupid enough to do it again. Shed any light?????? Anyway, Safe diving, Raimo.
