If I needed two hands for the unit and one ofr the SMB I'd not bother reeling the SMB in.

Well, it's an option, but if you are drifting over a shallow bottom thing can begin to be a bit tricky, no ?

Got a dump, but it's localised at the bottom of inspiration CL, so, it's a difficult to use it to dump manually (it dumps only on overpressure, but, at this point loop volume had reached a value making me truly buoyant)
