Inflating a DSMB is easy

So much talk here recently about these, I wanted to share this Vid.

It is an extreme example, but among all the potential problems when shooting one is losing track of position in the water column.

Don't try this at home.

I remember my 1st time thinking "This isn't as easy as it looks!". But it sure isn't that hard. And he/she (I'm pretty sure it's a she) even had someone holding the spool.

That was the funniest part. He had to be thinking "What the H--L is wrong with her ?!?!?"


I would say she should take up knitting, but those have those long sharp needles .

Now to be fair, her instructor (if there was one there) should have told her to spend some time on buoyancy before attempting to float a bag. And it isn't the easiest thing to master, but as with most things, you get better with practice.
