Anyone else for a Rec dive? Casey is it just you so far?

Hey Sheahan. I would steer away from that one. 25lbs is a LOT of lift for an SMB. Pouch bag seems to be permanently attached. This increases likelihood of entanglement and being taken to the surface by 25lbs bag can have unpleasant implications. B…

I have not purchased one yet, It's hard to justify $80.00 for a practice SMB. I was trying to see if there was a in-between one. What do you guys think of this? I think it's made by Manta. 25lbs lift 4.2' http://www.piranhadivemfg.com/products.ht

I truly agree! When I needed to inflate one in a team (had also the open smb), we did it like that. Pity that not all agencies think link that. Time for me to teach it the UTD way or with a closed one.

A good way to launch open bottomed or semi-closed bags is as follows: Diver 1 holds the spool and the bag out in front of them. Enough line off the spool so knots are cleared from it. Diver 2 inflates the bag with their reg while facing diver 1. t…

I'm a huge DSS fan and supporter . . . I think they make excellent gear in general. But I don't like their SMB. I don't like the inflator valve, and I really don't like the exhaust valve. It's difficult to rinse the inside of the bag, and it's diffi…

I really thought there were no huge differences in smb's. Till one day as a junior instructor I let (one of my best students and one of I've never thought he would have problems) launch an open circuit smb on a 20 m / 65 ft platform in an adv eanx c…

The 4.5ft Halcyon bag is huge (I have one) and not easy to get inflated. 6ft is truly giant. They aren't things you want to learn with at all. Smaller is better to start. You'll probably end up with a very large bag if you dive remote site with high…

DSS makes two SMBs: (1) LPI and (2) Oral only. sorry i wasn't being clear. i meant that the DSS smb i linked to in my first reply was inflatable either via the lpi or orally.
