    Yes ,you can open it . The lid have an o-ring and i think your idea is a good one .

     

     

    Had a look at the float DEMA. The idea of being able to open it is wonderful. You can precisely adjust lift using water... or sand.... or rocks...

     

    Also, after your day of diving, you open and clean it and it can be used as a nice container for the beer you'll be drinking!

  2. cool. i just fell in love with a float ...

     

    then i dont need to open my stupid plastikbottles after every depth change to let pressure out or bubble air in ...

  3. How do these floats adjust to different depths ?

     

    Have i missed something ? I don't see a way for them to be altered underwater according to your depth. Certainly seems a plastic bottle would be easier to alter underwater.

  4. it's probably pressure proof, like the cannister lights and also like our camera housings....

    I think Serge was saying HE has to add air to his plastic bottles (which will crush) as he changes depth.

     

    The floats, being rigid, won't do that. Others mentioned adjusting the air/water ratio to compensate for different ports, but I assumed they meant on the surface before a dive, after which the displacement is still fixed (a rigid 'absence' of water), just altered.

  6. ¥es, this is what i meant :)

    and yes, i meant adjusting it on the surface for different ports.

     

    sorry, if that did not come over clearly.

  7. Lets keep the details simple-

     

    1-They can be mounted to the housing top with a ball

    2- or clamped to the TLC arm system (one either side for balance)

    3- they are black so they blend and do not distract you while you work

    4- they can be opened when transporting and stuffed with "things" when packed

    5- you cannot open it underwater and / or adjust its bouyancy.

    5- if people ask what the contraption is you can always say it is a "Manta Atracting Beacon"

     

    Just confirmed-
