SE>If you're looking for a piece of equipment that can be carried
SE>by a diver in their BC, then I'd recommend the little yellow
SE>marker buoy that many dive shops have available.  It's smaller
SE>than a soda can and has about 100 yards of line attached to a
SE>high-viz plastic float.  To operate, you pull the cotter pin
SE>off of the float which releases a small lead weight.  The line
SE>unrolls and your yeloow float pops to the surface.  I've used
SE>it underwater as well as tossing it off of a dive boat as an
SE>initial marker buoy.
I guess I need to frequent my local dive shop or as mentioned in another
message maybe a local marine shop.
Thanx
