copyedit

[edit]

I took a cut at copyediting this article. The bulleted style seemed very awkward to me, so I made real sentences. I'm in no position to fact-check, though; hopefully, I've not introduced any errors. -- Mikeblas 19:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merging

[edit]

I've added tags suggesting that Decompression buoy and Lifting bag be merged into this article. I think given the small size and common content of these articles, they'd be better in the one umbrella article, and that "Surface Marker Buoy" would be the most appropriate title for such an article. There would then be sections for non-deployable SMBs (the current focus of this article), deployable SMBs (Decompression buoys) and lift bags. Lift bags could possibly be left out, as they do serve a significantly different purpose to SMBs, but given that lift bags are often used as DSMBs and manufacturers certainly treat lift bags and DSMBs as part of the same product family, I think it could justifiably be merged in. If anyone else has any thoughts on the matter, please comment here. David Scarlett 13:06, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest a merge and redirect, it does seem silly to have two pages but a redirect is a good thing (tm) -- Tawker 06:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with redirect.

[edit]

The content of Dive-float is a small subset of the existing topic of the article Surface marker buoy, which is a more widely used term for the same class of object. There are also some inaccuracies which need to be fixed - it is not a standardised item, as there are several kinds of dive-float/surface marker buoy in use around the world. The pictured item is more commonly known as a torpedo buoy or rescue buoy. This form of float may also be towed by freedivers when spearfishing. I propose to merge the content of Dive-float into Surface marker buoy with redirect before making corrections and clarification. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 09:44, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
