Basically, I may not know who will be my insta-buddy and what style of diving he will have. I need a banger to prevent situation when I need help, and my new buddy is swimming away and staring at nature treasures...

2 RJP: well, I deploy it simply by pulling with the right hand, and then releasing. The bungee is very tight. The tank had massive plastic boot, maybe the boot dampens the sound?

Yep, I also often stare at nature treasuresIt takes two inattentive buddies to have buddy separation.
Sure, this is obvious. I simply mean that the place where banger hits the tank is not far from the boot, 2-4 in. If I lift it higher, it becomes more difficult to reach it.I don't use a tank banger, but I assume that they are for use on the metal of the tank, not the plastic boot.

Is it one of those bungee things with the plastic ball? If so it was originally designed by PT Barnum. He did it to test his theory of a sucker being born every minute. Throw the damn thing away. Use the butt of a knife or even better keep your buddies where you don't need a toy like that to keep in contact. A better choice if you must have a noisemaker is get a piece of 3/4 inch pvc about 5 inches long. Put a couple ball bearings or marbles in it and cap both ends. COst will be around $1.
