DSMB & spool purchase - my considerations.

CO2 Surface Marker Buoys

To deploy it you have to pull the lever through 180 degree this lever is 1 wrap into the stored dsmb. So very very very low chance of it going off

This can be interesting.
However how long will last a 16gm CO2 Cartbrigde ?
for this product for example: 1.5m CO2 SMB (Single 16gm CO2)

Box of 16gm CO2 Cartridges (10/30/50/100)
a box of 50 cost £78.42 = £1.58 = $ 2,09 this is not that expensive

What depth do you reply it, and how quickly does it fill?

I have it with a 50m spool so would be happy to use it down to 30m.
Fill wise takes about 2-3 seconds and provides more than enough gas for a full fill as it vents on the way to the surface.

I get cartridges alot cheaper than that.
20 x 16g for £17.10
So £0.85 a pop or $1.12

They are single use.

Already noticed some failures with them? How many dives you have done with?
Whats the benefits to consider this method?

Wait those co2 cartbridge are not used to inflate into a biclycle tyre I recall someone used it to quickly fix his tyre.

As stated my main dsmb is a standard lp hose inflate sealed dsmb i have used that on most dives.
The co2 is my backup one that is there if my main one fails or i need to deploy 2 or if by buddy messes up his and has to leave it go. Have used in in anger 3 times. Have used it as practice quite a few.
It has never failed on me when needed
