if you anticipate this, why not pick up a rock from the bottom to carry on the ascent?
That was a recommnded procedure, in the day.
Most times there aren't any rocks to pick up. Maybe fill a bag with sand.

Since the development of the Wing there is no need any longer to dive without a buoyancy aid. I pre date all the buoyancy devices since I self taught myself to dive in 1964. I have tried and refused to use every device( life jacket, horse collar, ablj, stab jacket) over the years as they are all designed to work on the surface and compromise the diver underwater. The Wing is the only design I would use or bought as it is designed to work for the diver underwater and the compromise is on the surface. It took the dive industry a long time to design something that works and keeps that feeling of freedom, the rest have always been a waste of money.
I have plenty of rocks between my ears, no need to steal potential homes from the little critters on the bottom
Actually, I have picked up rocks when necessary. Usually wasn't, however
Best wishes.
