Check out the Halcyon lift bags instead. They have a small one called the Surf Shuttle that folds up really neatly and you connect an inflator hose to inflate it. You can also inflate it manually if need bee I have used it on numerous occasions and it always works great. If i have something really valuable to lift from a wreck i always use the Surf shuttle as it is closed circuit and cant sink back on you. A simple and very smart idea. That is DIR to me. Also check out the MC-storage pack, a really smart product for stowing the bag. You can find pictures of it on Divers Surf Mat Peter Fjelsten wrote: > Den 21:12 06-12-98 , vpg skrev noget i henretningen af... > >Has anyone come across surface markers or lift bags with an integral > >cylinder to inflate?
