We dont bother with a line at night really. We have two cases:

1) Shore dive -- usually can follow the bottom up to 20 feet or so.
2) Where that's not possible, we dont shoot a line, just keep the HID in hand and do a free ascent. Guy running deco is supposed to maintain depth, but obviously each person in the team has to maintain their own depth if he screws up.

That's great except every night dive I've ever done (including this one) the skipper has insisted we bag up the moment we hit the seabed
