	To give you another 'thread' on delayed surface Marker buoys, I'll
try to simply describe the one I use.  It consists of a plastic/rubber
tube, around 6feet long.  This is thicker and seemingly sronger than the
Polar Bear lifting bag I also use.  One end of this tube is
sealed(although I know the same manufacturer.. whose name escapes me) has
another model with a dump valve).  The other end has a 1" webbing stitched
into it and a short folded length of webbing hangs from it.  To this
webbing I've attached the 15m of line and the perspex/plexiglass lead
centred drop weight I use.  The line is wrapped around the perspex end
over end as would a childs kite string be, into V's in either end. 
	Now I use this item to inform my boat/shore cover of my position
and that I'll be ascending at this point after completing
decompression/safety stops as necessary.  The bag itself has a outline of
a dive with a camera and an arrow pointing down, supposedly to show what's
happening below it.
	Does this make it any clearer...?
