Sorry I should have been more clear. I ordered 3 custom canisters for the 3 of us from Light Monkey. Cost me $225 each. Great little units. I have a pics somewhere on the Cozumel PLB thread.
I also tried the Aussie ones but tossed them as they leaked, plus it's equivalent in size to a grapefruit. Not sure how you'd rig that up, plus its mucho buoyant. I made the mistake in assuming the included pouch was for underwater use, sure looked like the perfect setup, until it fell apart in 10 dives.
It looks like it fits ok without the flotation pouch. It would suck to carry it around dive after dive, then need it on a dark night, and drop it taking it out.View attachment 384005
Ouch! Thanks for the info, but $225 is way over my budget. For now I actually use an old Sony Camera case that I got from eBay for $10. It's good for 40m (133') deep.
Yes, and what am I seeing? You are there in person seeing it all, so you see more than I can. Is the PLB1 securely attached to the pouch, and inside the pouch in the canister? If so, great.Look again

Dan, does the PLB come with the float pouch?
