    The pic didn't look like it would be all that bulky. So do the flares last longer with the tape because on the flares site it say it only last up to 20 dives to 130ft?

    It's a self-vulcanizing tape that we use on underwater cables. I've used taken these flares (so treated) down to 200 feet and then tested them.

    Looks like a good start, a price I'm sure would help.

    That's a good point. I frankly had not thought about it. The flares in their pouch, attached to my BC, in a gear bag, have flown, quite literally, hundreds of times and never been questioned (but then I did not bring them up either).

    Yes, I blow them off every 4th of July, and they've always worked. I have a flare that I've been saving, it's been in my BC pocket (with tape) for almost 1,000 dives. When it hits 1,000 I'll test it and report back.
