It was really a bummer the last two times this happened, but now thanks to my buddy coming up with the quintessential solution to breaking free from the undertow I just can't wait for the third time(the charm) to try our new procedure......when the oxygen tank malfuctions and you first become entangled in the undertow, dump all the air in your BC (steal some extra weight from a diver near you if necessary) and get really negative bouyant, sink down as rapidly as possible to 200' to get underneath the tow, then dump your weights, max inflate your BC so you can assend as rapidly as possible(to rush through the undertow on your way up to the surface)...but remember most imprortant......since you were down to 200' and your air supply may be a little low, hold your breath on the way up so you don't run out of air before reaching the surface.....:rofl3::rofl3::rofl3::rofl3::rofl3::rofl3:
