Looking for imput on surface signal devices. I'm after efficiency and effectiveness in a small package.

What do you use and why do you like it?

Thanks in advance. Best regards; jbm

Safety sausage and whistle. Haven't used either, yet, but they're there if needed.

2. whistle
3. cd

   No the CD is not for listening pleasure. I use it as my "mirror". I get so many in the mail, as the shiney reflective surface gets worn out, I replace it.

I carry a large safety sausage...the Blob... and a mirror at all times. If in the ocean, I also use a Dive Alert.

I've got one of the smaller versions (the Windstorm, I think the large one is kind of bulky for BC use) and it is LOUD. If you blow on it hard you'll hurt your ears. And they really do work underwater, I tested it out, although I'm not sure how useful it is to pull the reg out of your mouth to plow in a whistle.

I just yank my mask up and scream and wave my arms over my head. Seems towork just fine. They come for me real quick!


Actually, I use a whistle, and a safety sausage. I do like that CD idea though. Good one!
