Safety Sausage

[Rev. Blade]

Although I'd consider neither Aqua, nor Leisure Pro to be the absolute experts in the field of dive gear definitions, my 10' tube is sold as a safety sausage. I think $2.00 would be a much fairer price, than $13., but when mine wears out, I plane to buy another one of these cheap ones. It's huge (about 6" x 10') when it's open, and small when I put it away. Consider it disposable, but I've had mine on every dive since open water class.

I'm back in the Chicago area for a quick visit and headed to a couple LDSs. After spending too much money on things I couldn't find back in the Philippines, I kept getting the same answer about SMBs/Safety Sausages. I carry a cheap orange plastic one that orally inflates. I hate it!

I'm looking for one that can be inflated underwater with my octopus. Yes, I'm aware of all the safety concerns and proper procedures. I've dove with a buddy that uses one but can't recall where his wife purchased it. Does anyone know of one that is made to be inflated underwater?

I agree. Mine is a good quality sausage 6' tall by 6" wide, but I can't inflate it anywhere but at the surface. If I had it to do over again, I'd go with the SMB version as described earlier.

I have the DAN one and it's pretty good. You can use your LPI to inflate it, as well as a mesh pocket at the bottom where you can add some weight so it sit's vertically in the water when you deploy it. It comes with a storm whistle, mirror, and glow stick. Also includes a over inflate valve.

Cater makes a great open-bottom/oral-inflate SMB. I have 1 RED model in stock at the moment....less 15% SB discount if you are interested, email me. It's what I personally carry.
