I would like a DSMB, preferably around 6” wide, 4-6’ long, must have oral and regulator inflation, OPV. A nice semi-closed/baffle bottom also. Anyone have experience with a good DSMB that fits the bill? I’d like to keep it under $50 if possible.
DSMB Suggestion?

might I ask what you're looking to do with said dsmb? I find that specific size of dsmb to be pretty frustrating. It's took big to bother with for the dive portion, and not big enough for easy surface spotting if you are lost. When and why do you plan on deploying it and what got you to require that many types of inflation methods?

I have one that is similar to what you describe. It's made by scubapro. Really nice quality. But I agree with @tbone1004 it's really not the ideal size for ocean usage. I use mine for local lakes and quarries. I carry a different style for the ocean.
It’ll be replacing the safety sausage I currently carry on all my OW dives, mostly local lakes and Florida coast. I want the flexibility to deploy at depth and something a little better than a 36” sausage. It’ll mostly just stay clipped to my BC.
Carter Bags are incredibly well made, and work great... but beyond your budget. Just mentioning them in case anyone else needs one...
If you're interested in buying used, I was going to be listing my HOG 6' orange one. It's in good shape except the bungee that wraps around it is getting a little loose. I just wrap the bungee twice around it. For $15 shipped, it's yours...
