Just move some weight from your rig to a ditchable weight system. Hold onto your team? Problem solved.
What problem? All but my B/P and STA is ditchable weight none of which I wish to leave on the bottom unless there is no other way. I found another way with zero problems executing its use. I have a poodle jacket I use sometimes for shallow solo dives, but most dives doubles or not it's the B/P wing.
I know of no other safe way to get a buddy in trouble to the surface but to hold on to him/her. I'm certainly not going to put my lift bag on a diver and sent 'em to surface unescorted.
Someone did that years ago diving on the U853, killed his bubby.
