Hi there,

I was just watching some 'skills' demo movies and was wondering about the smb deployment one. When we look up before letting go of the bag, we're obvoiously checking for divers / boats / any overhead obstructions etc. However, if you look up and then take another 20 seconds to deploy the bag, then that's plenty of time for something or someone to move into the 'line of fire'. Why not look up just before letting go ?

Richie.

Thats what I do - I never let the bag control me thus if I have to abort because somebody (something) is above me I can. That said if you are stupid enough to end up above a diver who is shooting a bag
