Turn your bottom timer on before you jump in the water.  Does it work?  If
yes, what are the odds of it failing in the next hour or two.  Close enough

knotted line/rope at 10 foot intervals and deco off your watch.  If your
watch fails,  count the deco.  Sheck did this from 800+ feet at Bushmangat.
