Ascend to 20 ft., since it is unlikely that you have a 30ft ceiling (if you
think you may have a 30 ft. ceiling, then stop there).  Relax, and breath 
normally, until you are forced to ascend due to air restrictions.

If your dive plan was worth anything (existed) you should have extra gas
available, so the ODDS are good you'll be clear by the time you surface.
