"and attaching a large shackle/weight to the bitter end so it will self set from 20' to 40' above the anchor."

If the weight used is a proper sounding lead , you can test the bottom if desired,before anchoring.

We have used this ,line thru the ball bail, to anchor crown and so far 3/8 line has never failed at unsticking an anchor, even before installing a Hyd windlass.

Scuba is fine in warm water but at times we travel and the water temp is 40F or so.

BRRRRR!
