What are some of your worst entanglement experiences?

[Nitrox_DiverNY]

Oh well,

If you do swim into a fishing net, then
1) do not assume vertical position
2) do not rotate or turn
3) just reverse (eg. by sculling, it's easy)

If you manage to get entangled then relax and start cutting the net in a slow and controlled fashion. It will take a little bit of time, but that's OK. Make sure your dive knife (or scissors) is sharp and short. You can't swing a sword in a net.

I do (almost) always carry a cutting device, sometimes two.

thanks! very interesting vid, I can see now how going vertical just f**ks everything
