Lift Bags

[FatRob]

Can't you just make your own?
Valve and attachments that is....

You need a valve to control the ascent rate by dumping air, unless you have a lift bag that is perfect size for every item you wish to lift..... or want to launch your stuff to the surface at scary speeds (with the risk of it coming back down to meet you once it broaches and dumps it's air)

A simple valve is just a flap of rubber with a string over a bunch of holes... the air pressure holds it out, you give a tug to break the seal, problem being that it's not very reliable. Does diverite / NESS not sell dump valves? Otherwise you could buy an apex cuff dump from seaskin, then modify it with a stronger spring and a dump pull.

You don't really need an lp fitting.... just purge your octo, or a simple blower under the fill orifice...

Any pics that you could point me to showing the 55 gallon barrels being used to lift, if not could you post some?

I just made a dozzen of these 55 gal barrel lift riggs to float some Granite Moorings in Camp Ellis, Saco, Maine.

Anybody want to help?


I need to lift the granite and put new chain & bouys on the moorings.

Get to play around in the 17 ft Zodiac and other dive stuff.

No thank's, to busy working on proving the first two laws of thermodynamics are with pragmatic indulgence going to be rewritten. Hell of a caveat ay?

Lift bag, ? Plastic pouch from a wine in a box, sometime its push button, some are twist valves, and I think these are most appreciably used.

Figure out your own exuberance or denial.

Getting fitted for granny glasses, although I always wore aviators before.
