Once you go dry, diving is a year round activity everywhere!The difficulty will be finding multiple divers with cameras willing to do such a thing in November/December in Seattle.

I'm diving Saturday... the water Temps don't change much hereMultiple divers recording and perhaps somebody on the surface would be my recommendation. The difficulty will be finding multiple divers with cameras willing to do such a thing in November/December in Seattle.
Good to hearOne possibility
We dive year round. Not a problem at all.
The difficulty will be keeping the camera pointed at the SMBShoot an smb that is attached to a dsmb with something rigid (kite poles?) Connect your go pro to the dsmb. You may have more luck tying the 2 buoy to a hard anchor point and cutting a line to release them at once.
O ne day I'll buy a dry-suit. Until then, I'm a lazy slob in Texas.Once you go dry, diving is a year round activity everywhere!
The difficulty will be keeping the camera pointed at the SMB
Agreed. I would like a continuous video source as the ideal solution. But that may not be practical.The difficulty will be keeping the camera pointed at the SMB
I think it will just be a burb as a seam somewhere will fail resulting in a sudden exhale and then the SMB goes limp. But good teaching point for why one should not hold their breath if an ascent is possible.If you capture the expansion with adequate detail, that will be informative.
However, I think the rupture will be anticlimactic.
I’m not against the effort, just trying to be realistic that a burst seam probably won’t get many “ooohhs” and ”aaaaahs”.
DSMBs have OPVs, SMBs don't. I can inflate both and have attached to some sort of an anchor. I'll probably have a connection to a line to keep track of it. We will see. There's a bit of experimentation needed.Maybe it would be better if you inflate a balloon rather than a DSMB? It would probably go pop on the way up?
Not sure how doable it would be to inflate one? Maybe you could buy a DSMB one way inflator valve and glue it on the balloon?
I have an AP crack bottle DSMB I'll probably never use again. Attatch it to a 5 lb weight and crack the valve. You ascend and film the DSMB as it goes past.DSMBs have OPVs, SMBs don't.
