Budget Dsmb

[Giacomo Foppoli]

Hi, Im going to be going off to do my DM and IDC in the summer and Im getting all the kit I need, I cannot find a cheap semi-closed Dsmb with a release valve. Any suggestions or do I have to empty my wallet for one. (looking for anything under £40)

I got the Mares all in on DSMB.
It was the best value here and also the only al’ in one with when it came to different inflate options.

The cheap ones I’ve seen are not easy to use, small openings, substandard material. You don’t want to by fiddling with something that doesn’t work properly when your demonstrating skills.

More importantly, you need the type of kit used in the area you’re doing the course. Some locations don’t use reels, but a ribbon.
