New diver, doing my first boast diving trip soon to the Channel Islands (two days). I'm working on getting together the necessary safety & signaling equipment that I haven't needed for the shore dives I've been doing in Monterey. The trip is beginner-oriented and all dives will be guided by a DM, but it still seems worth having a signaling device for use on the surface in case I end up away from the boat.
A friend gave me this older Scubapro SMB and I'm wondering if this would do the trick for this trip. It's very simple, no valves or anything - just open on one end and sealed on the other. Size is 4 feet long.
I'm not trained in deploying a DSMB from depth, nor do I have a reel, so this would be just for use on the surface. I guess I would inflate it with a regulator?
I'd love to avoid spending money on yet another piece of gear if possible. Will this do the trick?
