The tape runs from the holding bag to the surface bag.In the holding bag is a small 1-2 pound weight, on the lift bag is an attached small (1 litre) tank into which air is decanted. A little like the old stab inflators.the lift bag is fully closed with a blow off valve incorporated. Every three metres we have a small D-ring sown into the tape, I have two tapes one of 25m length and one of 60m length. The problem with the system is bulk, but I trade that for its simplicity and the fact that it is deployed without you being fixed to it, it cannot drag you up! To use you take the holding bag, take out the lift beg, inflate using the small attached cylinder and let go, the whole thing deploys in front of you. We repack the system on the way up during deco.
