Re: Safety system for 60m buoy diving.

I think option 2 would be best. I don't think 10kg would really be enough to get things going, especially with the diver also trying to go down on it bearing in mind the buoyancy of the suit and I guess this is going to be in te red sea so the divers will be pretty buoyant.

However - attaching and firing an FHOF can be fairly slow and fiddly, particularly under stress so reliance on FHOF is not ideal if the person firing it is breath holding.

I'll keep thinking
