Just received my Riffe utility float with CO2 inflator that Hal Gartner
spoke about. It's 38" long (extended) and 8" wide and made of red,
waterproofed, heavy-duty nylon. It has a little pocket at the end that
holds the CO2 cartridge and a small weight. It comes with a superb, large
5" stainless steel diaper/nappy safety pin (but without a point)
that could be used as a jon-line device.

Pros: It's small
      It's self-inflating
Cons: It's small
      It's another piece of gear hanging off you
      Sticker shock

I wonder whether it really can be seen at a distance - the red color is
not day-glo at all and it's short. My Scuba Tuba extends to 6 feet but has
to be inflated at the surface. The major advantage is that this device is
can be inflated U/W with little or no hassle or expertise required. I wish
it did something else.
