Ditto for ScubaCaribe in PDC. All but one DM used a sausage on drift dives, usually at the safety stop. One DM instead sent up a large bubble stream from his octopus when our safety stop ended.

I wish you'd sent some across the pond decades ago! Thanks to the Brits for this wonderful addition to diving.

Alternatively you could use a small reel -- probably a safer option.

PS: If anyone can suggest a better (safer) way to do this, please do so!

You alluded to a safer way in the first part of your post. But instead of using a reel, I would suggest a small finger spool with about 50' of line.
If you would like more in depth details on using one with your safety sausage, let me know and I will either post an answer on the board or via PM.
