I agree that a bobber float is not good.  I use a diver buoy with a flag.  I agree there is some chance of getting tangled, I have only been tangled in my own prop at the surface.  I was not paying attention and started motoring without making sure the line was clear.  I also can jettison the line from the sub if it were tangled on an obstruction.  Hank

 I am a bit reluctant to use it in case it gets tangled up.  But I will get one with floating rope and put some floats on it near the sub, so its held out the way as best as possible.  Im going to get a float like the long sausage one we used temporarily.  A diver SMB.  Boats tend to ignore ordinary bobbers as normally they are just crab pots, but with that type, it waves around and is obviously a diver.   Comms failure was a real nuisance.  It was only a wire on the battery terminal, but I didn't know that at sea. oh well.

James,I have a buoy (diver below)  behind the sub all the time and it is no bother.  Your dad will love it, he will know exactly where you are.Hank

 Hi Hank, Not deep.  About 10M max.  The UW radio broke due to a faulty wire on the surface kit and the boatman (my Dad) was a bit reluctant to let me go out of sight.  The diver tied on that temporary SMB, but he still wasn't happy with no comms.  I didn't push it as he was getting grumpy.    I will rig a proper reel and line next time for a bobber.

James,How deep did you end up diving.  The visibility looks pretty good.   Hank

 Another very similar video to the others, except its blurred, shaky and the battery ran out when I got towed out to deeper water.  :) https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=eWXEtbbwN0c
