Just a couple of notes, I have had the line become entrapped with a bag
release, it happens sometimes...however, not often.  Second, in Manos area,
where he may use a wet suit, the bag with the air release valve on top can
be used as a backup buoyancy control device.  The super alert marker has no
air release valve on top, thus, not useful as a backup buoyancy device.
When I took the GUE Tech course, we practiced using the bag, with the valve
on top, as a back up buoyancy device.  We were also in wet suits. When in a
dry suit,your dry suit is your back up buoyancy device.

Hi Manos,

I've got a 'super big dive alert marker' for some time now, I love it!
I use my drysuit inflator, same reason you came up with, one-hand release
and attach from the drysuit and the lenght of the hose. Wing inflator hose
for back-up.
In combination with a spool, this is the dir approach. No reel, it's more
likeley to stuck, so you'll lose the bag+reel. When you loose the spool,
it'll come down right in front of your nose, because the line can't be
trapped.

Regards, Ward
the Netherlands (cold..)
