I just bought a Halcyon lift bag which is a totally closed bag and is 
inflated through a rubber nozzle and one way check valve. I asked the sales 
person at Brownies how he deploys the bag. He said, I clip the bag  to my 
reel and pay out 30 feet of line then I drop the reel the bag is now in my 
hand and reel is 30' below then I disconnect my inflator hose and attache to 
connection on rubber nozzle which fills bag as needed and reel comes up to my 
hand and I can decompress at my first stop.
May be safe but a lot of preparation. I asked another female employee and she 
said she blows hers up manually no pun intended. Some people have 60' of line 
on there reel and just drop reel at same depth and use an air inflator from a 
separate hose to fill bag. Some people have simple spools with same amount of 
line. What are some of the techniques used by the serious ocean wreck divers 
in regard to a closed lift bag and reel deployment
