I had an oral inflate SMB, it works well but I wanted to try one of the ones with the open bottom to inflate with the regulator. I've heard the air will just rush back out once it hits the surface, will it still do this if you hold it below the surface slightly? Not sure how effectively I could do that. I want to launch it at depth off a spool.
Wondering if I can DIY something on the bottom so that after inflating it, it would seal up either completely or at least partially so it won't deflate as quickly. It's also been reccomended to me to use a small weight on the bottom, which I'll do. I know some have the option to attached your LP hose and inflate that way, but that seems like a hassle and I've usually got a spear and lobster snare in my hands already so that wouldn't work very well for me. Same problem with the oral inflate and I just find it kind of slow. I guess I just want to try new things and want some advice. thanks!
