Best video yet, of shooting a longer open bottom. It's exactly like mine. Mine is the Amazon special 6'. I'm going to try it out tomorrow for the first time. Understanding the proper technique to avoid freeflow or entanglement.
Hooray! A decent-sized SMB with a decent amount of air in it so it is fully inflated at the surface. Typical UK dive runs like this: Stay on the wreck (or the reef if the party's interest is life, not mangled rust). Blob up at the end. Say there is a swell and some surface chop and it's coming on to rain. You're the skipper and you have 6 pair in the water. Six teeny, thin SMBs is bloody hard work, even with a deckhand, even if they are fully -inflated. Give me big 'uns every time and as a diver, be safe, be seen.
You don't deploy it from 15 feet. You deploy it at depth so the boat can see you. Tie a knot in your cord 15ft. below the marker. You can slowly ascend, winding up the cord, and stop at the knot for 3-5 min. Really need to have this down if you drift dive.
@@darrellbrackett7948 If you're doing a square profile dive you're right, but depends what you're doing. You might be diving on a pinnacle that's shotted at 30m and ends at 5m. Gives you an hour's dive with no deco.

It is not gonna inflate itself! Looking good Tink.
Thank you for detailed sharing ❤

Safety stops nearly over by the time that’s up
I usually deploy at the start of a safety stop, but for this demo, I had already finished my safety stop according to my computer :)

not how i would do it. but okay video i guess. i prefer oral inflate.
