It?s what I wanted. It is bigger than some SMB?S but I prefer the higher visibility, that?s the point.

I wanted a good quality product that would fit my need but would not be very expensive. I do not need to carry this all the time but feel more confident I have it for those dives in wide open areas where visibility could be an issue.

Great Safety Sausage. Works well. Have needed to use it a couple of times and it is tall enough the boat always finds me.

wish it were a bit less bulky, but a necessary evil to have a nice long SMB for drift dives and areas with boat traffic

Basic SMB. Good cordura type materiail and not plastic. The clip is plastic though.

Easy to inflate. Very visible. Crew on land said they saw it which was great. Pink color is fabulous!!

Easy to see when the diver is in the water even when not deployed

This Signal Tube I ordered is to large to hook on your BC if you are a recreational diver...better suited to a dive master who is responsible for a group. I should have checked out the dimensions first before ordering given that it's 6" wide.

Have had one really bad day in 15 years of diving. I have this always in my BCD and have used it once. But it was a day when the waves escalated from 4 to 10 feet cutting off the rocky shore exit. The fog had rolled in and got worse while waiting on the coast guard. My whistle was pathetic hung too long on my BCD and I never checked it. But they spotted the tube fully inflated. A bad judgment day on my part to be in the water. This safety sausage probably saved my life saving me from a Darwin award.

Awesome, LARGE, surface Marker that is easy to use. If you want to be seen, don't settle for saving a couple of bucks on a smaller, cheap marker. Get this big one. I purchased one of each color, one for me and one for my wife. It always pays to be prepared and "think safety" all the time.

Bought it for recreational use and returned it. Much larger than expected and only inflates orally. I will be looking for another SMB.

I used this product for last six years on weekly base until I lost it. I was so used to this product that I feel unsafe with out it. So I ordered new ASAP

USED THIS RECENTLY.... EASY TO INLATE EVEN BY MOUTH. 4 TO 5 BREATHS. ALSO USED FOR SNORKLING UNDER ARMS... REALLY HELPED W BOUYANCY.

has overfill valve so no worries about popping as you ascend. clip a little flimsy. would recommend upgrading

Good quality and relatively easy to use. It does require a fair amount of air to inflate it though, so someone with 'small' lungs might have some trouble. Works well, though.

Haven't used it yet. I have unrolled it and tested it. It looks fine. Should be able to see it for miles

i do not use this product very often but in most cases it surfices well. I did have a problen on one difficult dive. We were in rough water and I signaled the boat using my signal marker. Once the boat acknowlage are location and started to pick us up I deflate my marker. (the marker was attached to a ring on my BC). Due to the rough sea we were thrown a line and were being pulled behind the boat. I had a very rough time getting my fins off and getting into the boad. Once in the boad I foud that the signal tube was full of water. The dump valve must have stuck open or the cord was trapped during the exit from the water. I suggest rolling up the tube and secure it before exiting the water. I would recommend this item with reversations.

Exactly what I neede for a safety tool to have as part of my BCD and to use if needed during drift diving.

Haven't used this while diving yet, but it looks solid. Can be blown up in 3 or 4 big breaths. Pressure relief valve is a nice feature.

Well made which makes it a bit heavy. However its worth the tradeoff.

Easy to use amd can be seen it heavier seas = 6' is the only way to go.

I tried to use this as a "hang-buoy" with a reel for safety stops but the oral inflator is quite fuzzy to use below the surface and negates the use of the second stage or octopus to inflate it. Get instead an open ended one, or the "deluxe" sibling that allegedly offers alternative inflation via the 2nd stage. Fine on the surface where you can deploy it at leisure. A loop to attach a small lamp would come handy for night dives.
