you put lots of words in my mouth. how about listing the half dozen where a line is not deployed for a open water class. This would rule out a line not being deployed simply because someone decised not to becaue it was inconvinient, or forgot to bring it. And I never said more experienced divers had to use them. On the boat I got out on, the anchor line is always there for this use, and divers encourged to use it, but not required. I often don't use it now, or only use it for part of the decent, and to make my 3-5min. stop.
