True, however 99% of my diving is in the open ocean, reefs and kelp forests. If I ever get a snag (never had a sang on a clip) I'd just cut it move on. Now, if I dived regularly in a line invested place, I may have to rethink it or dive somewhere else.True....... until it's not. I got snagged in line (which is aplenty) in a quarry using one of those good for nothing snaps. Not a huge deal, I cut the line which was running ...someplace but had it been low viz or a new diver they could have had an issue. It's all good, till it aint.
