If you inflate this, does this serve as safety raft? Will it keep someone afloat?

It is not that large and is meant for signal only. So now it will not serve as a safety raft or keep someone afloat. You are better off fully inflating your BCD instead.

No it's function is not as a float device, it is only used as a vertical signal to assist in being seen from a distance or in high seas.

Nope not at all. It's not that big but it gets the job done as a marker buoy.

This is a very big raft that takes a lot of air. You will need a high volume low pressure air pump. I bought the VMK air pump from Amazon. It plugs into the outlet in my truck and fills the raft relatively quickly.

Pamela, In the same manner that a life preserver would keep you afloat, this belt would also keep you afloat. It is intended to be used when doing aqua aerobic type exercises. If your goal is to do aqua aerobic exercises (i.e. float on your stomach or your back while kicking your legs or doing arm exercises), this would be a good piece of equipment for you. Have a good weekend. Sincerely, Roy Lazarus Trivillage.com

It is supposed to automatically inflate when it hits the water, no matter the state of the person wearing the vest. This maybe a question for the manufacturer.

I haven't actually used it yet on a dive but it appears that it will stand if you have some tension on a line attached to it. It has a plastic clip on the bottom end so you can attache a string. If you are on the surface you'll need to hold it, there isn't any weight on the end. It is however a sealed tube and won't deflate if laid over.

You will need to get an electrical pump to inflate it. Overall, was NOT really pleased with this product. Seems the walls of the float are really thin, and tend to break open very easily. My float only lasted one season.

Yes it floats but has to be hands down the heaviest paddle around. Very heavy duty but not made for smaller/weaker paddlers.

As far as I know if your are submerged in the water, the inflated life vest should support you. I disconnected the automatic inflation feature and depend upon the manual lanyard to inflate it. I use this in my airplane, and in the event of a water landing, don't want it to inflate until we are clear of the cockpit.

Yes. It is great for floating on. It should hold two people just fine, unless you are really big. If it is blown up tight and you get on carefully, you probably won't even get wet.

It floats but it should be tied off to your life vest. You really don't want to be searching for your safety light inan emergency situation

deflated the boat is reasonably compact. just remember you also have the oars and hopefully a life jacket.

I did not purchase this personally. A friend of mine bought it through my account. However, I know it was used for a blow up raft that held up to three people and it worked perfectly. I would not recommend using it for anything too heavy.

The Pad self inflates and deflates on its own easily. It would be totally up to the individual if they wanted to use a pump, however, it is not necessary. We trust that is helpful.

It's possible to make it float but you would have to ballast it as you build it. Without the ballast it's very top heavy and will capsize.

There are many options...I just use any pumps that one would use to inflate an air mattress. That said - it is better to get one that can be plugged into your vehicle as that comes in handy if you're at the water and need to inflate the raft there.

Yes and no. If your in too deep of water no. If your still in shallow water yes. However mine doesn't stay inflated well

It was a gift for my husband. He uses it to inflate a two person inflatable fishing boat for use on small lakes. It works well for that, but I am sorry that I cannot answer your specific question.
