Having learned to dive late in life I made up for it in my first year by clocking up 120+ open water dives in places from the UK to Australia. I went from a non diver to a technical deco diver in 9 months and loved every second of it. Since having kids not been able to travel as much so spend my time watching videos and reminiscing, hope you enjoy my site as much as I have making it.
DSMBs are deployed at depth, SMBs are deployed at the surface. This is a "how to deploy a SMB" video so the comments that they are doing it wrong because they are surfaced are in a word… wrong. I prefer to use a DSMB (line clipped to the marker and the other end of the line is wrapped on a finger spool). I don't know why a person would ever use a SMB. I want to mark my location before I surface and I like having 30' and 15' marked on my DSMB line for deco stops. I use a different spool for my wreck reel.
Absolutely useless lesson((. You'd better show how to deploy the signalling device while being at 5-meter depth in order to use it during deco safety stop !
Why not just hold on to a dive flag?
This is the exact skill for my I.E. open water presentation tomorrow. Mahalo.
This is all wrong.
Can you also recommend an SMB as well as a DSMB with safety overfill valve etc?
cheers!
Yep,.wrong.
This is how not to do it.

"this video is not intended to replace formal scuba instruction"
Is that because there weren'T any insturction at all?
Worst instruction video ever
