The best way I've found to find that string is to find the valve with my fingers, and then just keep trying till I get the string. It isn't an exact science, and usually results with my in a horrific mess, but I've noticed marked improvement in my skill at finding it even over a few dives. I figure, in another 10 or so I should have it down. Of course, you warm water folks don't have to worry about things like gloves ;-0
Now if I can just figure out how to reach my tank valve without turning sommersaults. Letting your buddy manipulate your valves is dangerous. We had a real OOA issue on Sunday because someone's buddy (the lowly moron) forgot to turn his air back on after a drill (sorry ptf, I won't do that again!).
