Rating: Its a Safety Sausage
Reviewer: Nanci B., Monday, January 10, 2011 - View all my reviews
Not much to say here, its a safety sausage. I preferred this one because of its size and its ability to inflate easily although I have yet to use it in a stressful situation. My only complaint so far is there is no clip on the sausage itself so I need to keep it in the little pouch to clip to my BCD

Rating: Good item
Reviewer: william h., Friday, October 31, 2008
bought 2 of these before going to mexico for a week. one for me and one for my better half. we practiced them on dry land and they are TALL and i would think visible even in somewhat choppy waves 3-5 high although we never had to use them.

I purchase two 8 safety sausages one for me and one for my wife in preparation for the scuba diving trip to the Gulf. In fact I had to deploy the sausage during one dive since I did not finish the dive at the boat and had to be picked up by the recovery boat. The sausage was deployed for visibility. The sausage was easy to inflate, however, it would not stand up once inflated, it would just lay on the water. I had to hold it in the middle while holding on to the morring line to get it to stand up. This would essencially cut the height of the sausage in half.

Rating: Not very tasty!
Reviewer: Marty Russell, Sunday, July 27, 2008 - View all my reviews
This sausage tasted terrible! However it does fit nicely in a BC pocket, wrapped in its little compact bag. You dont even know its there, but its nice to have just in case! Good size and very bright. Worth the few bucks it is.

This was great. So compact but when needed it was easy to inflate and the boat did see us when it came up. It snapped on to my BC and I would highly recommend this for use and for its storage afterwards.

Rating: Good value
Reviewer: Eugene G., Saturday, August 02, 2008
Took the Safety Sausage for the 11 day dive trip to Komodo. It worked well - used it twice. Would be nice to have an option to hook it up to the BCD and to inflate it using the power inflator. Overall, good value for the money.

Rating: safety sausage
Reviewer: Mary Salaja, Monday, May 12, 2008
As a 6 safety sausage it is easy to inflate and very visible in high seas. However, the wind can blow it over, making it hard to stay upright. I attached one of my spare weights to it to hold it down in the water. This allowed the inflated tube to stay upright without me holding it. I also wanted to get at it quickly, so I rolled it up and put a velcro strap around it. The velcro is permanently attached to my BC pocket. The sausage is now easy to unroll in the water and the weight fits in the bag that comes with it. All was attached to my BC with the sturdy harden plastic clip. I am satisfied with the product. I may attach a dive emblem on it, some time in the future. The tube takes the writing of a sharpie pen. So I put my name on it, just in case I am in a situation where it is off and gets mixed with the gear of others. Mary S

No diver should be without one. Doubles as a lift bag. Especially in poor visability, it made it easy to find my buddy
