Took a while for my buddy to find me finding the bubble trail, I was pretty experienced at the time with over 60 dives under my belt so although instinct was to dump the belt and inflate the dry bag, training dictated best scenariuo was get your breathing under control then controlled ascent - one of my fins strap snapped and lost the fin so was pretty good and going around in a circle! this was also in full cold water gear - wasn't fun
