rjdiver once bubbled...
I was talking to a diver yesterday about using a Dive Alert on my PC. I don't have one, which is why I was asking. He stated that he would NEVER put a Dive Alert on his BC, due to malfunctions (not being able to inflate his BC, the Alert going off, ...).
Any feedback?=-)
I've had on for 5 1/2 years, never take it off the inflator.
Never rinse it, never blow it out, it works like a charm.
I use mine primarily for irritating people on dry land.
You should hear one of those things go off in the car.
I dunno about decibals and stuff, but that thing is as loud or louder than gunfire.
Keep in mind that if the boat is downwind, they can hear you fine.
If the boat is upwind, they can't hear you, period.
Divealert should always be used in conjunction with a visual signalling device, a mirror or flares.
Having been misplaced by a boat once for almost 4 hours, I can tell you flares are a must for me.
