I'm having trouble deploying DSMB...

What prowess? It is the truth, size isn't an issue here. It is what you are doing with the "tool" that matters first. Not being able to erect the DSMB because it is too big for you or for the purpose, is an issue that can have serious issues on the safety of the diver. The insistence of the OP on this inappropriate size just because he wants a bigger DSMB than anyone else's is just unreasonable and potentially dangerous.

Even if it ends up being half full on the surface, that’s 8’. That’s bigger than most.

That's what he said.

The reason you can't inflate your monster is because of mathematic reality. I trust this is clear to you by now. But this has been an amusing thread to read. If you really want a ridiculously oversized sausage for the lols and want to deploy it from depth, perhaps you might look into the possibility of having a self-contained pressure inflation system added to it like some European SMB makers provide.

Good luck filling up your sausage; hopefully you can find a device to end your problems with limpness when you need it to get hard. Or just go back to a normal sized smb.

I'm still wondering if we're being trolled.

Very good possibility but at least we are being entertained here

Since this is the technical diving section: the best result would probably be achieved by using trimix for the SMB.

Trimix? I don't think he needs any more lift from this thing than he already have.
But pure helium might be more appropriate. Doesn't have to be UHP, though

You won’t be laughing anymore when the 3m DSMB will stand proud … above the boat

 

[admikar]

But at least he will have the biggest, badest one

I wasn't talking about that trimix....
