I used to try to fully inflate the DSMB each time, until Andy Kerslake asked me "why?" on Fundamentals.
Because most dSMBs rely on internal pressure to seal the end..?

I now use the small closed circuit Halcyon DSMB. This is approx 3L? volume
Ah! Great! I was really, really tempted by one of these at the last dive show I went to, but the sods sold out by the time I went back

So - you've answered my "lack of visibility" concern already.. but does the small size make for any awkwardness with reeling back in or anything? ie it's not so small you might wind up sinking it on ascent?
