Dutch Springs employs safety observers to monitor the dive park and respond to emergencies. I personally let one of them know when I will be using a SMB to avoid someone thinking there is a diver in distress.
I also practice shooting bags on a regular basis at Dutch. I don't notify anyone, and they've never responded as though there were an emergency. I think they understand that people are going to be practicing this skill.
Funny you should say that as mine has lead in it. Now I thought it was to make it stand up straight, but now you have me thinking, if I put enough lead in it I could use it as an underwater wreck marking SMB (me is )

I think near the schoolbus. Was hoping to get to practice deploying it but it escaped from my BC and swam away.
If you found it or find it, please PM me.
Will keep an eye out at OZ just in case low drag, high speed fish brings it my way. Oh and on that note, anyone seeing a bulgy eyed grouper with a brand new mask on it has my authority to detain such fish and recover my mask "Thank You". Lost it at Sipidan.
I have mine on a clip along with a spool which is clipped on my bottom D ring left side. I prefer all floaty things to not be in my pockest and if I have to have them there, then have them on a lead and clip anyway to minimise the chance of loss.
