I own a full size Garmin inReach+, since there's no easy way to dive w/ it (would need a huge canister) and is not buoyant, we're 99% sure we're getting the ResQLink (dryfob for that will be here tomorrow)
Has anyone acutely activated a PLB/personal epirb on the water and how was the response and/or what brand?
I know Garmin have a proven track record on land, but we've also experienced significant delays or errors simply sending messages (no SOS) while in the mountains (clear sky, no obstructions), but would guess that's the general expectation for talking through satellites.
And I know certain countries limit/restrict satellite communication, so we're also trying to keep that in mind so we don't run into an issue traveling abroad
