I'm all confused about SMB features. Open or closed, deployment method.
I'm trying to find one that when deployed I can waive over my head at a passing boat to get picked up. (I recently saw "Open Water"). I don't see any benefit to lift ability for me.
All I want is one that takes up no space when folded up, will absolutely work when I want it to, is easy to deploy, and cost very little.
Some must be kept partially under water or the air will leak out. Some must be inflated orally. Are both of these bad ideas?
I'm looking at the Dive Rite 44" See Me (fully enclosed), and the OMS 255E 62" with 50 lbs of lift (not enclosed). They both seem to be marketed to my purpose and of course both of those companies inspire confidence in quality.
Is there one that you would recommend for my purposes? Thanks much.
