SMB - Lift Bag Choices

[RTodd]

Hey RTodd:

You might want to check this bag out.

Seriously though, you might want to give timlittle a call or PM. He works for Carter bags and sells used bags and SMBs for pretty cheap; he might have something you're looking for.

Also, I have a Carter 35 pound Personal Float, 60 inches tall and 5 inches wide, and it has a volume of 0.5 ft³. It doesn't take much to inflate at depth but I don't know if it would be exactly what you're looking for. If you want, I could send it to you to try out and see for yourself.

I hope this helps and good luck.

With kind regards,
Thomas

Thanks for the info. I have the Carter 50 but it doesn't stand up well. Is the 35 easy to get to stand up straight? I don't want to have to "hang" from the float to keep it upright. The site says a 4 lb weight will make all of them stand up. That just isn't true with the 50.

Thanks for the tip on Tim's bags. For $25 I am going to give the 35 a shot and see if it works. I may pick up the Halcyon to compare as well. Hopefully, the Carter will work. It sounds like the 35 works better than the 50.

Hello Henrik:

I can't find my tape measure but using my metre stick, the float measures 69 inches from end to end; <snip> CBPF 35.

Thanks for the info Thomas. That letter/number code matches the Carter website - so no need to dig too deep for the tape measure Thanks for the tip on Tim Little as well.

I would rather be obligated to keep tension on the line than be 4lb's over weight during my dives...
