I've only had one type of entanglement incident. It was at Catalina Island and involved giant kelp. It has happened a couple of times since then, but the only time I was nervous about it was the first go around.
The kelp snagged the first stage regulator. No matter how I tried to turn or wriggle, I couldn't see the point of entaglement. I ended up taking one arm out of the bc (my weights are integrated, so I didn't want the bc to get away from me). Once I could swing the tank around in front of me, I could see what I needed to do. I carry EMT shears and I was free in no time.
I've never had a problem with monofilament, nets, or electrical cables. I am pretty cautious about entering wrecks. If there is even a hint of entanglement hazards, I will stay out.
