shallow hasnt a thing to do with a 6ftsmb, but visibility does..

I don't really get this argument. If you need the visibility only on the surface, inflate it on the surface. If you need it while underwater, don't wait till you're at 10' to shoot it. Shoot it deeper (so you actually have an ascent line and marker visible from the surface for the ascent) or just deal with it once you're surfaced. Coming up with complicated procedures necessitating additional gear for shooting big bags shallow seems like a strawman.

@Rainer hit the nail on the head. If you need a 6ft dsmb for visibility on the surface, then you need it long before you get to your 10ft stop. If you need to shoot something from your 10ft stop, it's going to be to let surface know something and in that case you don't need or want something that big

Idk man, I sometimes dive with a 6' smb inflated and clipped to my butt dring. Makes it easy for my buddy to see me and really helps with my trim!
