Great DSMB if you reattach the reel

Great DSMB, balloon is quality and the reel is easy to use and bright. However, after a few uses the black end of the line broke off while the SMB was deployed. Not a huge deal as I was able to recover the SMB at the surface. I ended up having to cut off the black end of the line and reattaching it to the SMB.

Works well; holds air; tricky to get water out

I used this DSMB on a Caribbean dive trip, for eight dives. Works well and very easy and fast to inflate from octo. Could also be inflated from a LP inflator hose or by mouth. The addition of the relief valve does add bulk when rolled, but make deflating easy. Due to the design of the bottom, it does trap any water that gets inside, but the relief valve can be removed to drain it. The spool and line seem good quality, and the bolt snap is great but a little smaller than I'd prefer (but sized right for the spool). There's a swivel on the end of the line that could be removed if you want a different setup, but it is very nicely spliced and finished off if you choose to keep it.

As ordered

Haven’t used this yet. Arrived as ordered. Bright yellow for good viz on the water.

Well Made

The SMB is very durable, and well made... It is large when folded up, but works well... The spool and line are as advertised, the spool is aluminum unlike a number of plastic that you find... All in, very pleased.

As expected

The reel is aluminum and a WAAAAY less expensive version of the Apeks reel. Worked great.

SMB nice, line is suspect quality

SMB is nice. The reel is sufficient. However, first time I deployed from about 15ft down the line snapped at about 5 feet. This let the SMB fly freely to the lake surface. If it wasn't for another diver with me the SMB would have been long gone by the time I surfaced.This is what the item is supposed to be designed for so the fact that the line just snapped off without any knots or prior use is pretty disturbing.

Gut verarbeitet, etwas sperrig.

Die Verarbeitung der Boje sowie die verwendeten Materialien sind tadellos.Sie macht einen robusten und wertigen Eindruck, welcher sich auch während der ersten Einsätze bestätigte.Durch die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten der Befüllung (Aufpusten über das Ventil mit dem Mund, von unten mit dem Lungenautomat oder mittels Anschluss eines Inflatotschlauches) ist die Boje für alle Fälle gerüstet. Letzere Möglichkeit habe ich bisher nicht getestet.Die Boje hält die Luft und steht dank eingebautem Gewicht gut an der Oberfläche. Die Spule ist von sehr guter Qualität und erfüllt alle Erwartungen.Die mitgelieferte und bereits aufgerollte Leine ist sicher an der Spule verknotet und am Ende zur Boje mit einem Drehgelenk ausgestattet um ein verdrehen der Leine zu verhindern. Zudem sind alle Knoten mit Schrumpfschlauch vor Reibung geschützt.Warum nicht 5 Sterne ?Die Boje färbt nach den ersten Einsätzen ab. Helle, empfindliche Gegenstände sollten daher getrennt verstaut werden.Da die Boje zwar von unten befüllt werden kann, zum ablassen der Luft jedoch nur die Ventile verwendet werden können, muss die Boje vor dem Einzug in's Winterquartier unbedingt aufgeblasen hängend, über Wochen trocknen. Kondenswasser oder eingedrungenes Meerwasser würde sonst sicherlich zu Schimmelbildung, Stockflecken o.ä. führen wenn die Boje über längere Zeit verstaut wird.Kein Minuspunkt aber einen Hinweis wert:Durch die recht hoch aufbauenden Ventile lässt sich die Boje nicht ganz so kompakt rollen wie manche offene Variante.Gummiband und Klettverschluss halten sie aber gut und sicher.Am Karabiner gibt es nichts auszusetzen. Er erfüllt seinen Zweck, ist nicht zu schwer- und nicht zu leichtgängig, rostet nicht und sichert die Boje am Jacket wenn nicht in Gebrauch bzw. verhindert versehentliches Abspulen der Leine im Einsatz wenn man raus hat wie es funktioniert.Alles in allem, klare Kaufempfehlung wenn man kein Problem mit der langen Lieferzeit aus den USA hat.
