Hello All,
Been lurking for a while, decided I would join in.
Just finished my enriched air class. This week-end is deep and next week-end is wreck class.
I am thinking about getting a lift bag/SMB and was wondering what the proper procedure was for deploying the bag to the surface? Do you attach SMB to your reel and ascend while taking up the slack?
If you plan to use the SMB/Lift as an emergency safety device in case your BCD fails or your dry suit floods or as a safety stop line. (in case you miss the anchor line) What type of line would you use and would your procedures change? Would you weight the line and come up as you would on an anchor line, so you would not drift?
Just starting to formulate some questions. I want to get some different opinions and viewpoints.
Thanks
Joe
