Tom, what would prevent the unit (no dump vaves ) from blowing when deployed at depth as Andy wants to do? there is another item manufactured by Sub Salve & sold by Aqua Explorers to local dive shops. it's a sausage type that's weighted on the bottom so that when it hits the surface it stands upright. there's a dive flag on the top for visability & it has a dump vave built into it. it's made out of the same material that Sub Salves bags are made of so it's durable. Sub Salve also makes some really nice pillow bags that have a pouch for a tank<attach artifact turn on tank & away it goes>. dive on & on hank in a message dated 96-04-19 22:09:04 EDT, you write: >Subj: Re: inflatable surface marker buoy >Date: 96-04-19 22:09:04 EDT >From: tsurowie@ix*.ne*.co* >To: Andrew_Cohen@cc*.ss*.nm*.go* (Andrew Cohen), techdiver@terra.net > >Date: Tue, 16 Apr 96 13:46:13 EST >From: "Andrew Cohen" <Andrew_Cohen@cc*.ss*.nm*.go*> >To: techdiver@terra.net >Subject: inflatable surface marker buoy > > I am looking for a surface marker buoy that can be deployed by a diver > at depth, like a liftbag, will stand up on the surface like a safety > sausage, and will stay inflated.
