I'm an ocean diver.
How do you climb on the boat with that think. I keep thinking of Jim Belushi in that SNL skit when he had the giant bulge in his pants that would knock drinks off the tables and push people out of the way.

And how hard is it to stow. I am all for progress, but seems like an unnecesary gadget. I think a SMB is more effectively launched from a safety stop.

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.
