Claus, If you got yourself (and that buddy of yours) stuck inside a collapse wreck and the only thing you have is a little tiny hole to get through I would do this. First --- shoot a line and float out the hole to mark the position -- someone on the surface might get the bright idea after a little while to go look there if you are overdue. (my marker bags have my name on them (one of them says HELP!!!!) The next part you can flip a coin on who goes first. Next -- take off tanks -- climb out using long hose. Have buddy pass tanks out. Get back in them. Have Buddy take off tanks --- keep long hose in his mouth -- pass tanks out to you first make sure they are neutral (don't drop them) let him climb out, and redress. If all is ok then pick up your marker and head back to the anchor line, if not make your ascent right there. When you get back on the boat, call your wife, mother, child or latest squeeze and tell them you cheated death one more time. When you get home buy the good champagne (not the stuff with the plastic stopper). Happy Trails .......
