Andy,
I took a skyblaster (sold in sets of two) which are supposed to be waterproof to
130ft for a dozen dives or so as stated on the directions when you buy them.
I took one, placed it in an old Saber light housing, and carry it in my pouch.
I have a friend who places 2 of them in an unused Ikelite Mini-C light.
It keeps them dry and seems to work. I have yet to try actually light it off but
I have simulated it (inflate BC on surface, pull Saber light out, open, then
pretent to pull the cord/light the flare).
The only problem with my method is that I only carry one. But I also carry a
safety sausage, dive alert, and personal strobe with me on all wreck dives.
Carrying two would be better, but I don't have an old Mini-C. Also, the saber
light is small (diameter) and fits in the pouch easier.
