Probably the best step by step tutorial on how to launch a DSMB on YouTube. - Ditto to that!

[bodee]

Explaining the drill and then showing how it's done underwater, I think it's the best way to go! Great job

[rickflippin]

I would love to to take lessons from you to further my diving journey. You are exactly the kind of diver I aspire to be thank you for all the time you spend to educate us the knowledge is invaluable to me.
Much appreciated

Hey Achim! I really enjoyed yor video "Why we shoot the SMB the way we do". Now I can see you obviously advise to preassemble the SMB with the spool. It would be really amazing if you could make a sequal "How and why we preassemble spool and SMB the way we do". I'm really interested in your opinions and techniques on this matter. Thanks so much!

FANTASTIC EXPLANATION AND DEMONSTRATION, Sharing with ALL my Dive Buddies!!! This is

[andrewburgemeister]

This is great!! Thank you so much for this video!

The other ones were too complex and had a lot of mucking around, this one was simple and easy to follow!

[gogs]

Excellent video as a novice diver the really cleared up the most efficient way to launch a dsmb

[MrRagool]

Makes intuitive and complete sense …. Unlike he other videos I’ve seen from SSI or RAID…

[MrBeamerdave]

Best training clip on YouTube about SMB use and deployment if you are ever heading to New Zealand let me know cheers Dave

Regarding the checking for divers above, ISE is about team diving, the team should really pick up on having divers or boats above.

Great easy to follow explanation! Could you please do one on the easy way to set up your dsmb and spool?

[divedaz]

Used this set up today for the first time, suited me totally thanks. I was doing a cold quarry dive though and my Lips were cold so i couldn't make a good seal around the oral inflator at first though.

Great video - very nicely done explanation of your technique. I do have one question and that is about the double ender.... does it just serve to keep the spool from unwinding? It does not appear to be holding any line but is just snapped through a hole in the reel. YES??

Thanks for the really great videos - I have been diving for 20 years but my girlfriend is a new diver. As she learns new things, so do I. I have always assembled the real and SMB when I needed to deploy we really don't the line for anything but use with the DSMB and this makes perfect sense, especially for her.

Thanks,

Larry

Hello Achim,
Thx for all your content.
Could you please show a demonstration of how to shoot/inflate the smb with the wing inflator ?

[divercjl]

I really appreciate your logical approach to all diving aspects. I am wondering if you could do a video on deploying SMB while on rebreathers. Obviously things are quite different and I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[TheAshantidutch]

good to see that you are back, thanks for uploading

[jmpublicvideos]

Newbie here
I’ve watched maybe 15 videos about DSMB the past few days trying to get prepared for key west
Haven’t used one before

All videos thus far do not have the reel connected to DSMB

I prefer to have them attached to each other to eliminate an extra step and possibly dropping one or the other

[zjymark]

Hi Archim could you let me know what size of the bolt snap you use on the end of SMB and also why you need a bolt snap ? Not only a double ender?

[philippebezie]

Excellent ! First time i see i can inflate my SMB with mouth .. so simple - KISS should i say... Thanks

[shohamsabo]

Excellent video on deployment. Would you review how to rig the SMB & reel?
