I'm going to be diving in GCM and Belize next month. I have the DAN safety sausage, and a somewhat smaller one. My hesitation in using the DAN one is that not only is it kind of big, I get the feeling in certain dive spots that people are wondering just what I expect to go wrong that would require a sausage that might (possibly) be visible from any near Earth orbit. (E.g. this kind of sausage is overkill when you're doing the Catalina dive park...)

Is the typical boat diving on GCM such that this kind of sausage is way overkill and I should use my regular (still large) but not over the top sausage? Or are currents/other events a reasonable possibility in GCM and in fact I won't look quite as dumb with it as I fear? (If you want to chime in for the same question diving in AC in Belize, including the Blue Hole, please do so.)
 
If you are in the waves and the boat can't find you then bigger is better.
 
Lots of open water, especially around the Atolls. Bigger sausage is best.
