- This Surface Marker Buoy comes from a small company who only deal with water sports. Their focus and dedication mean that you know you are getting the best product possible.
Safety Sausage Surface Marker Buoy
All of dive guides carry S.M.B.'s (surface marker buoys) just in case they come up away from the boat or to signal the boat at the end of drift dives, fish hunts or in case an emergency pick up is needed.
- MAXIMUM VISIBILITY
- EASY FILL & STABILITY
- SEALED & RUPTURE RESISTANT
Also known as "Delayed Surface Marker Buoy", "Decompression buoy", "Deco buoy", "SMB" or "DSMB", it is a diving safety equipment that you must choose with care.
SAFETY VENT
1. Valve allowing inflated maintenance on the surface. The deflation is done by operating a cord on the valve.
CHARGING
2. Hybrid Inflation design: Oral / Power Inflate or via regulator.
REFLECTIVE TAPE
3. Nylon 210 Deniers TPU coating & Reflective Tape ,very visible red color.
STORAGE TAPE & BAND
4. Bottom stainless steel D-ring to fix the spool or reel， adhesive tape and bungee for rolled up support.

Very decent DSMBPros: multiple ways to inflate (mouth, inflator hose, regulator). Reflective tape on top. Heavy duty material and construction. Aluminum finger spool. Stainless swivel. Purge valve. 60ft of line. Stanless d ring attachment. Velcro and bungee keeps it securely rolled up.Cons: spool is small for 60ft of line making it difficult to get clip through holes (I cut 10ft off which helped resolve the issue). Loop to attach to smb d ring is on the small side but workable. A bit on the bulky side. Takes a number of breaths to inflate (easier to do with regulator).Overall very satisfied with this DSMB for the price point.

I am happy with this DSMB. It has already been on one dive with me, and it held up well.I do wish the spool was a bit bigger - it works well for me.

This SMB is a great size and made from good quality material. Inside the base of the SMB there is a plastic seal that prevents air from coming out once you have put it inside, however, this means you have to really purge alot of air for it to get inside (if you are using the open bottom to fill it up. This also means it takes a little bit more time to emoyt the air and any water from the release valve after use.The reel and string is sturdy and of good materials. One downside is that the reel is a little bit too small so the wound-up string, blocks the holes that you would put the clip through to attach it to gear. This can be fiddled with to make it work.With all of that said, it is a great purchase and i like the design of everything. It might just take me a bit more practice to get use to it. It is a great price for the quality. I probably wouldn't recommend it for a beginner, but someone who is a good diver and is happy to practise with it to get used to it may like it.

Already 4 dives in with this little guy and really pleased. Good quality, weight at the bottom, durable material, spool holes are a bit small for the clip, but I used another clip that I have and it works well.

PROSPackage includes a buoy, reel & bolt snap.Small form factor, reducing bulk & weight. Buoy is 4 ft. Reel is smaller than average.CONSBuoy's dye dissolves with water (even when is meant to be submerged).What touches the dripping buoy gets tainted. Thus far it has not left a permanent stain.Buoy is decolorating faster than expected.

This smb has a few ways to inflat. Quality is very good. It feels more than what I pay for.If you're debating if you need one, the answer is YES. Both you and your buddy needs this. I just got back from a liveaboard. 2 people got carried away by current in between 2 Islands to the other side. We sent boats out to look for them after all the other divers came back. They kept on drifting and was 1.5 miles from from the boat before they got spotted... they didn't have snorkels or smb...... almost impossible to spot them in the open sea. Yes please get smb

I haven't shot the SMB in the water yet, but it appears to be well made. It has double seams along the sides, which is nice. The ones with single seams can sometimes wear along the non-stitched side. It can be orally inflated (or with the LP hose) or via the octo purged into the open bottom. It is self-sealing, which is a nice feature and will keep it from flopping over and deflating on the surface. However, I suspect that exhaust from the primary will not provide enough pressure to inflate it that way; probably have to use the octo. I might be wrong, however, so I'll have to try in the water.The spool is pretty good. It has a nice, large hole so it's suitable for cold water diving with gloves on. I like that it's aluminum. Like pretty much every finger spool, you'll have to strip off some line in order to expose enough of the holes so you cal clip off a bolt snap. I stripped off about 15' and it's fine now. That leaves about 30' of line on the spool, which is good for shooting the SMB from a safety stop in most situations. If you need to shoot it from deeper or while in a strong current, this might not be enough line.The swivel and leader is a nice touch. Unfortunately, the leader is too small to be useful. The diameter of the loop is not large enough to easily slip over the spool when clove-hitching the SMB to it. It can be done, but not easily, which means it will be even more difficult in the water (and probably impossible with gloves on). I removed it and used some of the stripped line to tie a larger loop. Now it's perfect.Overall, if you are looking for a good price on a small SMB and spool, this fits the bill. Perfect for most calm-water situations when you are shooting an SMB from your safety stop. If you dive when the swell is high or when the current is ripping or need to release an SMB from much deeper, then you probably want a larger SMB and a larger spool.

La boya es buenÃsima. Funciona perfecto. El carrete es más pequeño de lo que me hubiera gustado y el cordel utilizado no me gusto (por ser plano y se riza con extrema facilidad)

Really good buoy but! The line is really short , as it is described yes i know but just keep in mind this is to short for any 10m below dives, for a safe and confortable deployment.

Exactement ce que j'avais commandé. Reste plus qu'à l'essayer dans l'eau.

We used this for two dives last week, and on the second dive the nylon web that attaches to the line sheared and because we were 45' under the surface we didn't really have a safe way to surface and get it back.The current and wind have taken it away.

The reel is very small. Made for a child's hands and the line is very thin. Says it included a double ended clip, but I didn't receive one. Now I have to go buy that separately. I at least hope the smb holds air. I like the colour so i gave it 2 stars instead on 1. I would return, but I'm off to the carribean in days and don't have time to order a different one.
