| Imported post Simon,
I have never seen a DSMB where you connect a suit inflator hose to inflate. This does not seem to be a good idea, trying to disconnect the inflator while the the DSMB rises at the same time operating a reel is frought with problems. Certainly too complicated for me. I use an open unit which I inflate with a small air gun. A duck valve keeps the thing inflated at the surface. I do however think that the type with the integral air bottle as Dominic describes is the most foolproof and easiest to deploy.
