I recently purchased the safety sausage with the intention to deploy under the surface to signal boats that I was coming up rather than carrying my dive flag on this particular lake I dive. I find that the mouthpiece is difficult to pull out with gloves on. Also, the carrying bag is a bit too small for my liking in regards to "putting it all back together again". It may be more appropriate to deploy in a warm water environment at the surface with no gloves.

I love the Akona safety sausage. I dive alot on lakes with sometimes heavy boat traffic to signal when Im surfacing. It gives me a much improved sense of safety when I cant always tow a flag due to all the trees tangling the rope. It works great attached to a cheap campers clothsline reel to reel the line in while surfacing to eliminate tangling. Its also very compact, visible and easy to inflate. Tim Ford, Branson Mo.

This sausage is well made and designed. I tested it on my last trip to Costa Rica and it was easy to deploy and very visible. There are longer ones out there, but for me this, along with a whistle and strobe, is just fine.

Rating: Small sausage
Reviewer: Rick G., Wednesday, August 01, 2007 - View all my reviews
A bit smaller than most but I think that is a plus. Quick and easy to get out and small enough that I take it on all dives. My wife has not deployed her large one since we got this small one.

The safety sausage works well. havent really had to use it yet, but testing it out it seems to inflate easily and tucks away nicely to clip on the BC.

Reviewer: scott r., Thursday, July 19, 2007
Compact and seems to be constructed well, just what was needed to give us the added visibility when you come up to fer from the boat.

Got a chance to use this on a drift dive. Easy to inflate/deflate. Yellow very visible. Easily rolls back up for storage.

Yellow, a little shorter than the orange, and material a little more flimsy. Otherwise good value.
