Geeeez ------ 

Art -- if one is going to use this convolution at least try not to strangle
yourself with it -- please .... you shoot the bag -- you tie off the line
-- you cut the reel from the line -- you clip that big hunk of junk back on
and you go up the line --- you do your stops -- you get to the surface you
pray the boat saw your little lift bag -- if now you whip out your little
safety sausage and wave that a bit then you fire off your dive alert --- if
you still have no attention you take out your safety flares and blow them
off --- ........

now do you reallly want to be worrying about the line being recovered .....

Do it right or dont do it at all.
