I have one of the Buddy bags and below 30 meters it's pretty much worthless.

It came with the smaller cylinder. I tried to find the larger one here in the States and was told by many sources that the larger one is no longer available here.

It's a great idea and I would like to use it with the larger bottle, but as it is it's only good on shallow dives.

I suppose you want to use it as a lift bag... that's a different story, but for an SMB, it works perfect with the 0.1 liter

The AP Valves crack-bags are a great piece of kit that I used for many years in the UK bagging off from 80 metres no problem.

Just remember to fill the bottle

Cheers,

Who can tell me where I can buy a DSMB with inflation cylinder. Minimum lift approximately 25 kg and minimum length approximately 2m. (2m= for good visibility on the North Sea)

I have self sealing smb's that are custom made, 33l and 2,5m long. superb quality! You have to fix the cyl your self, buy one of the 300bar cyl that they atach to the bcd, all available at AP, expt for the big smb

I have 10 left of them, mail me if interested. And indeed I have them specialy made for north sea diving....

Richie,
The deepest I have used mine is about 80m and had no problems at all.. its a bit slow at the start but really gets going.. If you want to use it as a substitute for a lift bag... then .1l bottles are not enough..

We at Kent Tooling manufacture S.M.Bs with .1lt crack bottles in either 2m or 2.5m

We also are able to put these bottles on to a lift bag if required, if you require any further infomation you can contact me on the numbers below or through my web site
