I dive double steels (lp85s) in a wetsuit. Thinking of swapping my steel backplate for aluminum. Still, I need backup lift in case my wing fails.
I calculated that my smb can provide 27 lbs of lift. Should be enough to compensate for my rig being -10 to -17 lbs buoyant.
My teacher criticized my smb because it is mouth-inflate only. He says I need to be able to fill it more quickly if the need for lift arises.
Can I just cut open one end and maybe seal with Velcro to give me an opening I can stick my regulator in? Hate to have to buy a whole new one!!
