The humble blob
The humble blob is an often neglected and overlooked piece of kit but one that has, none the less, revolutionised diving practice. They are there (a) to stop you being lost, (b) to stop you being minced in a screw and (c) as a point of reference on ascent.
The simple orange self closing Buddy SMB is by far the best and no longer has room for improvement: it is as good as you get and can happily rest on it’s laurels knowing that it is now the pinicle of the evolutionary design process. People, however, still like to customise them and these personal addtions tell you a lot about the diver below.
It does not take a wide leap of imagination to guess who this blob belongs to..
This, on the other hand, is a classic case of mixed messaging and should be avoided..
