Joel:

I agree completely. I'm thinking about a hypothetical situation where
the entry has *after* you entered been blocked - can happen in rusty old
wrecks. In other words, a nice fine hole to start with but a small one
at the end of the dive.

The answer would be not to take any risks but this situation *can*
happen. Another potential reason for removing your rig temporarily could
be getting bogged down in monofilament or net in an area that's too
narrow for two diver.
