It is fundamental to pay attention that the cable does not get stuck on the boat or on
the seafloor. It is also very important to keep the cable slightly buoyant, by attaching
a small buoy or floating device to the cable a few feet away from the underwater unit.
It is a good idea to connect the cable with a hook or retractor to the BC jacket,
avoiding any traction between the surface and the underwater unit. During the dive
the surface operator must slowly feed the cable out to the underwater diver as
needed, while keeping voice contact. It is not advised to simply throw the cable into
the water. The same procedure should be used when the dive is completed and the
cable has to be brought on board.
