When you're diving, having a reliable inflatable surface marker buoy (SMB) is essential, especially if you're diving from a boat. This piece of gear is designed for quick deployment and ensures your safety by making you highly visible on the surface. Its bright orange colour and reflective strip help others spot you easily, which is crucial in busy diving areas.

Inflating the SMB is straightforward: you can use air from your regulator through the bottom opening or connect it to a BCD or drysuit hose for inflation via the spring-loaded valve. There's also an over-pressure valve to prevent it from over-inflating, making deflation a breeze after your dive.

Attaching the SMB is simple too, thanks to the D-ring that connects to your dive reel line, while the top ring can hold accessories like a message slate or glowstick. After use, it neatly folds up using the velcro strap and bungee cord, fitting conveniently into your BCD or drysuit pocket.

This self-sealing SMB ensures it won't lose air once it surfaces, and its weighted bottom helps it stay upright, enhancing its visibility. It's a must-have for any serious diver looking to prioritize safety and visibility during dives.
