Clueless here.
I've ordered my BP/W rig, and its coming with the storage pack for an SMB, lift bag, etc.
The types of diving I do, off the back of a boat, putter around, and back to the boat - I'm having a hard time determining the usefulness of some of this stuff.
A SMB - sure. Current, lose the chain, etc. - come up away from the boat, get positive, inflate, wave it around for help. OK.
Is there something I'm missing? Aren't lift bags generally for recovery, etc. I'm a rec diver...the only thing I'm recovering is me.
The two seem to be used interchangably across the threads quite often - please help me to understand.
I keep a very HD closed circuit sausage in my pocket at all times. Is there more to this, or are my dive profiles not the type that uses this stuff?
Thanks -
Ken
