Nice one. What do you do if the line catches again on the ground ? If I understand correctly, this "one diver with the chain end", will he have a buddy ? Does he hold to the end, or just follow ? In case b) everyone can follow. In case a ) he is obviously more negtive than than the rest. What, if he has trouble equalizing ? Maybe I did not understand the full context, so please feel deliberate to explain a bit more. regards Matthias > > > Just for thought: > > Upline with sufficient but not exceessive scope, redundant surface > > floats, and bottom chain with snap/hook.
