Questions & Answers

Can the pouch fit in a BCD pocket? How big is the pouch?

There are some BCD pockets, like those on the ScubaPro Knighthawk, that are very small and are not big enough to hold Having said that, the little baby can easily fit in any BCD, and a Safety Sausage is only useful if you are prepared to use A second one I had wore so little that it lasted for years. The price is right as well.

What is the height of the stand? Is it actually stand alone or does it need help? Are there any places to attach a string in areas that are heavily trafficked?

The diving gear is still new to me, but from what I've seen, it appears it will stand as long as some tension is applied to a line attached. This has a plastic clip on the bottom end that you can use to attach a string to it. There is no weight on the end, so you will have to hold it if you are on the ground. In any case, the tube is sealed, so it will not deflate if it is rolled

How frequent is it that your tubes bleed red when you rinse them ?

No, I did not rinse it before storing it

Does it take a lot of effort to use it for a child? In order to see them when the children fall while tubing on a lake, we would like to buy this for our 5 and 8 year olds. ?

It's inflated with a tube that you can inflate with your A collar must be held back on the tube in order to make the balloon expand. Would you like the child to carry the inflated sling and the inflated sling in case

While not perfect, it is very good for the price, especially considering the price of diving
4/5

I have never had the misfortune to have to use it in an emergency, but it seems to work well. This rating does not receive a full 5 stars because of the following reasons The inflation method is a bit of a hassle (1) On the water I have practiced with it, and it is easy to do in calm conditions. While waves smacking into your face might make it hard to inflate in heavy seas with giant waves wildly crashing, I can see how it might be challenging. A valve that you could pinch open with your teeth or something similar would be better, in my opinion. (2) The sausage balloon has a random clear plastic loop part way up the balloon that doesn't appear to serve any purpose and just adds to its difficulty However, I only have a few complaints. The price is very reasonable too. Overall, it's a fine product.

This is a good product, but it is It was exactly what was ordered, exactly what was described and exactly what was needed
3/5

The seller did not have any problems with delivery, the quality of the product, or the timing. After buying the model, I wish I had purchased one that allow for an octopus to fill it instead of merely using my mouth to inflate it. Though I've been happy with this product so far, I'm likely going to replace it very soon purely because I did not want to take it out of its carrying case and inflate it.

As pictured, it was not what we expected
3/5

This item does not have "a premium brass screw down mechanism", as indicated by the item description. Plastic, plastic and more plastic make up the entire inflator. As for the rest, it's made of quality nylon and finished with a pouch that can be attached to a.

I love the simplicity of this SMB
4/5

I found this surface marker buoy to be very nice and simple to use. The only issue is that the inflatable ring does not have an inflatable valve and is a sealed system, so you will have to consult a depth gauge or computer an you need to compute how much air to inflate upon ascending to account for the air expansion caused by pressure and ascent. This was not a problem for me because I use this orange sub for rescue practice when I dive on a public beach (tell lifeguards before you do this) and carry it on all dives in case I need to signal for help (I hope I do not In my possession is a yellow one for non-emergency markings.

This is an awesome signal buoy for the drift divers! This was used 14 times in West Palm Beach drift diving in 2015, and its quick inflate and deploy capability was a great feature
5/5

Thanks to the plastic clip, we were able to stop safely when the pressure was too much for the rubber. My favorite thing about this is that it is quite heavy and it just hangs there on the line. I would definitely consider buying something similar again. Divers must have this (safety) gear to go diving no matter what kind of dive they take.

This must-have item is essential to every household
5/5

I've had it for a few years but only had to use it three or four times, and it should be required for every diver. I've been satisfied with the quality and functionality of this one.

The balloons are easy to blow up and to see
5/5

Everything described in the advertisement is right on. Throughout the drift dives in Cozumel, we used it repeatedly and it worked fine. You can see it for a long way after inflating it and it is easy to inflate.
