SMB Recommendation

[Splitlip]

In Monterey Bay we use the 1 meter Halcyon SMBs quite effectively.... I guess it depends on where you dive and what conditions you dive in.

As I said in my first post. Speak to locals.

Agreed. I use one that has an adaption to use either oraly or use the low pressure inflator hose to inflate (I use a drysuit hose so I just grab it to inflate at depth.) By using my air hose I can usually inflate it significantly before the buoyancy takes off with it.

The answer to your question is the same as so many other questions about scuba. What are you using it for? What conditions? etc........

I'm a www. No drysuit. But I have an LP hose I use to inflate mine.
