Right, well the question was "can a safety sausage be deployed from depth" and I have one (as you've pointed out) and I do deploy it from depth...
My preference is to send it from about 40-50 feet as I know how much air will fill it properly but not too much from there.
I used to have a larger one with an open bottom (it also had an oral inflator) and I did prefer the larger one, but I found most of the time I'd orally inflate that one as well - partly out of habit, and partly because I find it a simpler batch of actions to do that. YMMV.

The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home.

Wait there is still time left to find out if you wasted your money. If you overinflate it at depth it will pass you on the way down like a popped balloon!
