Mine is a 1.5m dsmb using 16g co2.I am curious about co2 cartridges never used one. Do they fit only in specific DSMB or can they be used in any, maybe with an adaptor? Can you post a link to co2 cartridges for scuba DSMB? Can you use other types of cartridges for example the ones for bycicle tyres?

Good demo videosR..
There are several GUE instructors in the UK that will teach you a very similar approach in nasty conditions with appropriate thermal protection. And you will learn to do this a whole lot faster than in the OP's video if you have an open mind.Yea, but what makes me laugh is all demos are in clear blue warm water with no gloves, never anyone with 7mm gloves in the cold UK sea.

Even with the completly unnecessary CO2 inflator you still need to manage the double enders, the spool, and the bungee holding the blob together.
Be careful on "standard" CO2 cartridges. I don't know if there's a universal standard for all dive gear, but in other applications the threads may not match. (There's a long story about a wildlife management scientist working in a remote area being loaned a Swiss-made dart gun (anesthetizing) until his custom-made dart gun was built. Turns out the Swiss-made gun had different threads for CO2 cartridges than the "standard" US CO2 cartridge. An amateur machinist and worked miracles to get him a fix.)Mine is a 1.5m dsmb using 16g co2.

They are just standard 16g co2 cartridges screw in. To deploy just pull cord and let it go
Firstly, I was not the one who introduced CO2 inflators and other stuff into the discussion.The point of the OP was to demonstrate that it is not a difficult skill. My allergy is for people who make the skill SEEM difficult because it fits their agenda. We have too much of that in diving... people who stand around and talk intelligently about diving but who don't dive!
It's not a difficult skill. Look back at the OP. Is there anything in that video that makes you think you need to stand around talking intelligently about it?
If so I don't see it.... That's the whole point of this thread.
