Descending from a buoy along its anchor chain my buddy managed to get his BCD oral inflator hose mouthpiece wedged into the links of the chain at about 10 feet. He couldn't ascend or descend more than the length of his inflator hose.
I was leading, saw he wasn't following and ascended to see the look of more than worry, but not yet panic on his face and the inflator hose sticking out an odd angle.
It was wedged in pretty tight and I needed one hand one the chain and one on the mouthpiece and a fair bit of force to get it unstuck. We went back to the surface and talked it over for several minutes before descending again for our planned dive.
