Hi everyone,
I quite like the DSMB on a line with a shot weight set up for repeated DSMB use. I think its the easiest, least bulky way of doing it and I would like to build my own.
I have a pretty standard Buddy DSMB and I was thinking of using a fishing weight on a 15m line with another fishing weight on the bottom of the DSMB so it will stand pround when it reaches the surface, rather than just sag over. This should give me a 45 degree angle to the surface with a 10m send up.
Could anybody, from experience, advise on what line and weights to use. I havn't really found any online dive shops that sell loose line like you get on a spool. I also don't want to over weight my DSMB, clearly, but want it to have enough weight on it to work effectively.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt
