Hi,
Well, I have studied many videos and read nearly every relevant post on this forum regarding this. On my upcoming boat dive I am planning to use my Halcyon bright yellow 3.3 feet SMB for the first time.
I have read about the release, etc. but what most concerns me most is the ascent. If I am using both hands to wrap my spool on ascent, how can I best consult my computer and spg, which retract to my chest? Or do I just lock the line with the double ender, check, and then resume winding? Or is it better to ascend normally, and wind up at the surface? I am concerned about being able to monitor my ascent rate, as well as my task loading in general.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you.
