I want to get an SMB/Lift Bag to have it as a marker and a lift bag in case I need it in emergency if both dry suit and BCD fails. I'm looking at this Halcyon Marker which is claimed can be used as a lift bag as well, it' provides 52lb lift
Super Big Diver's Alert Marker, 6' (1.8 m) long, closed circuit
The configuration I'm planning to use it for is dry suit, double HP tanks 100 or 120, 50lb wing. So I plan to rely on it in case i need to recover me and my rig in total failure of both components (dry suit/wing). Do you think it's a good option or I should better look at having 2 separate devices. say SMB and 100lb lift bag? I like this particular marker as it's pretty functional, has LP inflator and relieve valve as well as SS ring and reflector, seems to provide reasonable lift.
