70-90 cents per SMB...many thanks!I ordered one, let's see if it arrives on Bonaire
Does it give you any commission?
Doh...you're asking the wrong guy. I'm Mr. No maintenanceIf carrying one of these in a pocket, do you remove it and rinse it after every dive session? And hang to dry? Assuming you have not deployed it during the dive.
I find these do pretty well with near-zero maintenance, if you are pressed for time...Thanks I'm just trying to get a feel for best practices. There are a couple of things I would like to carry in my BCD pockets but I'm wrestling with the added maintenance.
I carry a DSMB in my jacket pocket. Gets used maybe once every 10 outings. Stays in the pocket and gets dunked in fresh water with the jacket. If I’m diving again within 3 days then no fresh water, my kit stays wet in its box.If carrying one of these in a pocket, do you remove it and rinse it after every dive session? And hang to dry?

In my personal experience, this is more from sun bleaching, not color running...The color might run a little in the beginning after rinsing. I’ve seen pink and white SMBs for loan that started out red.
Unfortunately, the aliexpress "create account" webpage flaked out on me. Instead of a captcha, there's a little slider bar that times out and resets before it registers that I completed the slide.
