Safety Sausage and Ascents

[miketsp]

A single sausage would not normally be treated as a sign of distress.
It's also a good idea to deploy one if your hang time is likely to be more than the rest of the group as it reminds the boat that you are still in the water and discourages them from leaving without you.

This sausages sometimes will have "Biver Blow" written on them

I gotta ask. What exactly does "Biver Blow" mean? Between this and "the miscarriage smallness motion" I'm strongly considering going back to bed and starting over again...

I'm sure he meant "Diver Below". It took me a minute also. The brain doesn't work too well this early.

With all the boat traffic here in Florida, I always deploy my surface marker before I ascent to the surface.
