I really like this SMB. It is big!!! it will double as a 50 pound lift bag. It has the anti spill valve at the bottom so you can fill it with your octopus. you can also orally inflate it. It also has a dump valve at the top to dump air as you lift stuff. I would order it with the case you can clip to your BC unless you have a huge pocket you can put it in. It takes up almost as much space as a mask box. If you want a large multi-purpouse SMB this is it!

Rating: XS SMB - Big, Bright, and Beautiful!
Reviewer: Jacqueline T., Monday, May 24, 2010 - View all my reviews
This SMD is huge - 9" diameter and 7 tall! It doubles as a 25 lb lift bag. As such, you WILL be seen when you deploy it. I found it easy to use, but it needs way more air than one can fill by mouth. Dont plan on using the mouth inflate for anything more than pumping it up at the surface. I also found it easy to deflate, and roll up against a raised thigh, at the surface. It is well constructed and as long as you treat it well (dont "throw it in the back of the truck with the heavy stuff), itll stand the test of time. Con - rolled up, it is a little bigger than usual. I find it well worth its extra capabilities, but some may balk at the bulk.

I would like you to know that I am completely dissatisfied with your speed of service. It has taken you 7 days to ship this product. I will not be using your company again. I am leaving the country without the product I ordered due to your inefficiency and will now have to ship it abroad. Paul Sweet

Rating: Shes a big one
Reviewer: Jeffrey T., Friday, July 11, 2008 - View all my reviews
Bigger isnt always better, this thing is huge. Even rolled up with the convenient clip its not something youll want on your BCD every time. Its well made, easy to see from a very long distance, and doubles as a lift bag. A nice addition to my inventory of equipment.

Although I havent personally needed to use my SMB, I know plenty of divers that have. All I know is that I never want to be in a position where I wish I had it and didnt!

Rating: Robust large DSMB
Reviewer: Stephen M., Saturday, October 11, 2008 - View all my reviews
Very visible compared to smaller DSMB. Very good design and roll-up mechanism. Big lift, so be careful when inflating not to get dragged up too!

Reviewer: Adam L., Sunday, July 22, 2007
Great product. Works well. It has a manual dump, but I wish it had an auto overinflation dump feature, so it doesnt explode if I release it from a deep dive.
