a DSMBi and instant lift.

Before the groans of buddy suicide bottles, this would be independent of
main bladder and only enough lift that even if full, wouldnt cause a rapid
in the same way as a full wing/BC.

Tricky bit is working out what is the right lift.
The BLOB he is talking about is Closed circuit, not self inflating. They are enormous, but require inflating either orally or using a Halcyon-compatible drysuit inflator hose. OBviously not an issue for us clones, becuase we change the nipples on all the kit so everything is interchangeable, but worth bearing in mind that you'd have to disconnect the drysuit - which at this point is the ONLY source of buoyancy you have.
