I always have two DSMBs. I’m never lost. Sometimes I stay with the guide, sometimes I shoot my DSMB & come up on my own. The boat is always right there. That’s one of the really nice things about drift diving.
The boat is always right there....LOL.. not on some of the charters I see. There are smb's scattered all over the place, sometimes 1/4 mile apart.
The boat can't be with everyone all the time. If you are not pulling a float, assuming your boat will "be right there" is not always warranted.
