I'm looking at getting a safety sausage for use on the surface. I don't intend to learn how to shoot one from depth at the moment.

The DAN sausage is the best bang-for-the-buck I've found so far: https://www.diversalertnetwork.org/dive-store/?id=117

Is there something else out there which is better, without being more expensive? biggrin.gif

If u want cheaper alternatives, can try competitively priced Dive shop Such as Scubatex In Subang regalia or extreme Dive station in bukit jalil.

I wanna fix up my buoyancy at the 5m safety stop first as I still yo-yo a lot. After reading around I concluded that launching a SMB from depth safely is an advanced technique (especially with a bigger smb like a 6ft), so I'll postpone that until I sort out my basics.

Inflating it at surface should be easy though. It is one step towards making myself more self-reliant from group separation or unplanned ascents.

That's okay, SMB has many usage. If u r x ready to deploy underwater, it is still good as a signalling device if u get separated or drifted. A 5ft SMB will increase ur chance of being spotted from a boat or from the air, compared to just waving your hand.

I just woke up with sore throat and runny nose, probably a flu. Don't think I can make it this weekend. Sorry guys and gals, perhaps next time.

Last time I went to Perhentian with my friends, DM asked my friend to remove the glove.

Diving in tropical water doesn't really need gloves, do we? As in to keep our hands warm.

I was thinking of getting it too but now... maybe not.

Once I dived in tenggol where there current was so bad we had to crawl underwater 60% of the bottom time. By crawling I mean moving from One point to another by holding on to rocks or hard coral so we wont get drifted by the current.

There are also some sites like crystal bay in bali where down current could suddenly appear and push Divers to the deep end. That's when u need to really hang on to something really thought to save it self.

Personally I don't prefer gloves cause it gets in the way when using the camera.
