Watched a diver in Tampa use a lift bag with way too much line on the bridle.

It was a simple 500-pound lift, but the extra 15 feet of line let the bag swing and almost hit the structure. I was taught to keep bridles short and tight to control the ascent. How much slack do you guys leave, and has a long bridle ever caused a problem for you?

Yeah, keep it short. I mean, just enough line to hook it and get a clean lift. That extra slack is asking for trouble, seen a bag get caught on a pipe once because of it.

Totally agree on the slack causing trouble. I started using a shorter line after a similar snag and it's way cleaner now.
