I have a standard 40 or 48" safety sausage and will be doing some drift diving in Cozumel, Mexico. My concern is coming to the surface with the safety sausage, only to get whacked by a boat. I'd prefer to hang out at 15' for my deco stop and send up the safety sausage while I am waiting my 3-5 minutes so I am *sure* the surface will be clear of boat traffic when I get there.
When I want diving in Roatan, I saw a few other divers that rigged a string and a weight to their safety sausages so they could inflate them under water and send them to the surface.
Does anybody have a recommendation and instructions for how to rig up something like this? Do I use normal string? Or fishing line? And where do I tie the string to the safety sausage? And at the other end should I use a big washer as a weight? Or something else?
Any personal suggestions you can give would be most appreciated.
