Also consider using a weight belt instead of integrated weights so if you are left behind you can attach a reel to the belt, then drop the belt so it will anchor you in the first place someone will come back to when they are looking for you. All searches start at the place where you were originally lost and then expand out from there, so you are better off being in the first place they will look. If there is something on the bottom that you can safely go back down to and attach the reel it would be better then using the belt.
That is a very good point. I'm not sure I would have thought about using my weight belt as an anchor. Smart thinking.
