Won't work . Once you grab the line to turn/pull you need to start your ascent.
I had similar questions since I always have problems equalising.
Last year in Cyprus I went to about 26 then made a 360 turn without touching the rope (which equalised my ears the moment i got my head pointing up) , then continued to 33 to get the tag.
I have lots of air and time but very bad tubes/ears/head down equalisation technique.
