- I just don't log dives
I need a smb that I can send up before ascending, typically from between about 40' and 20.' I would like something fairly small. My goal for this SMB is to comply with a requirement that divers have a float or marker and to mark my location to any passing boats, but to have something as small as possible during the dive. I am not going to tow a float around with me during the dive, so I will need to float one while I am at a safety stop or heading into shore while shallow.
I already have a couple of larger SMBs that I can use for signalling when I need that, but they are both awkward to carry when I don't feel I need the size.
I would prefer an smb that I can fill with my secondary if I can find one that will remain inflated at the surface. If not I will just go with a fully clossed bag with an opv. I was thinking of the Halcyon DAM semi closed or closed or the DSS 1 meter oral inflate.
Any opinions on these or other suggestions?
