This video discusses the purpose and proper use of lift bag during a drifting safety stop.

One tool that makes blue water safety stops easier is the lift bag. Deploying a lift bag helps you maintain a constant depth throughout the safety stop. The bag and associated tether line serve as a depth reference so you don’t have to continually check your depth and fidget with your inflator control. Instead, you can enjoy the safety stop by concentrating on scanning the endless blue water that surrounds you while resting on the tether line.

The deployed lift bag floating on the surface above you also serves as a marker buoy that aids the boat crew in identifying your exact location. With the lift bag/marker buoy in sight, the crew knows that you are enjoying yourself while waiting to be plucked from the water.
