Hmmmm, this means that as your bag is heading to the surface, you are heading towards the bottom. Does not sound like a good idea to me. Who was your instrokter? We really need to start finding out who is teaching the BS and warning the other newbies. I use the "JT" technique and just hold the bag over next to my reg (which is still in my mouth) and exhale into the bag. Then up it gos and hopefully your reel is clean. Sounds to me that you have too much air in your drysuit. You need to keep as little air in your DS as possible and use your wings to control your buoyancy. Then you are "hanging" from your doubles and and your rig won't slip.
