I'm gathering input on this as I've haven't done it yet.
For whatever reason you can't make it back to assent line and a free assent / floating away for a few hours is a no go. Maybe the current picked way up on a hot drop? So you tie in to the wreck then ascend on your own line.
So what are the procedures and things to look out for? How does deploying an SMB and managing two reels or reel and spool work out? Clip then together? Reel up to the next stop then work the smb line? Omit the SMB all together maybe? Maybe clip a backup SMB/bag with a blip of gas in to keep the line taught so as not to have an iffy amount of positive buoyancy on board.
Thoughts? Ramblings? Material?
Thank-you
