best surface marker that can lift?

[Jonathan]

I have an older Buddy which they don't sell anymore which is a shame as I like it....

As for stowage - I use the OMS Emergency Deployment System

It works great for me and is nicely tucked away when diving.

I'd suggest the 4'6" tall Carter personal floats, in either the 75# or 110# lift.
