    Inflating dsmb without flying up with it

    This may not be the right forum to ask but would like to know how you can properly inflate your dsmb fully without being towed to the surface when it's only half full. DUMB IS DSMB AFTER SPELL CHECKER GETS DONE WITH IT LOL. (Mod edit, fixed your title for you)

    DSMB & Reel Storage - BP/W

    Hey guys, Got myself a lovely new BP/W system which I can’t wait to get using. Been a long term jacket BCD user, and although the pockets on them are awkward as hell - they are at least still pockets... Just trying to map out the logistics of what will go where. I’m using a DIR harness and no...

    Too much DSMB for me?? Screw up!

    I recently purchase a 6 foot DSMB and tried it on a drift dive in West Palm. It was a disaster, though luckily I was not hurt. I used a cheap plastic ratcheting reel I had used successfully with a smaller DSMB but this time I somehow did not disengage the mechanism AND at the same time I was...

    DSMB

    Hi, I would like to get a good DSMB. I think I've read of one in which you can put a strobe light (from your flashlight or whatever) on top inside a compartment, can be sealed at the bottom so the air doesn't leak out, inflatable by mouth or from tank/BCD, and is radar reflective. Also, it must...

    Riding a DSMB up from a deep wreck???

    I just watched a video where a class taught by one the most experienced divers in the world did something quite interesting that I would like to try... They were diving a wreck (about 170 to the sand') and prior to doing a free water ascent they all pulled out their DSMB (already rigged to a...

    Need DSMB help

    I’m buying my first DSMB and upcoming is also GUE Fundamentals so I need the best one. I don’t know which I should choose as the shops near me don’t have all these in stock. I have read that closed ones are best. Top ones I have found: 1. Halcyon Slim Big SMB 1.8m / 6ft - for me it will cost...

    Carter 10'DSMB

    So... after diving in some rough chop and trying to deploy SMB and reel in big current and seas, I went with what the locals seemed to be using. Manta Jr. Reel and Carter SMB. I am more than happy with the reel, but the 10' Carter seems huge, but incredibly well built. I have trips to...

    Shooting a bag (DSMB) in strong current conditions

    This is a video of my PADI AOW student learning how to deploy a DSMB in strong current conditions while maintaining position (vs drifting). I thought I'd share this with the community to help new divers learn this essential skill. The video includes a step-by-step "how to" of the skill...
