Never compromise on surface safety when exploring the open ocean.

Whether you're ascending after a deep drift dive, performing your safety stop, or navigating choppy surface conditions, staying visible to boat traffic and your dive crew is essential. Designed with high-impact fluorescent materials and rugged ocean-proof construction, this Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) inflates quickly and stands tall above the swells, giving you absolute peace of mind every time you head below the surface.

≋ Key Features & Benefits:

• Maximum Surface Visibility: Available in ultra-bright fluorescent green, orange, and pink to ensure you remain clearly seen by dive boats, captain crews, and jet skis even in rough waters or low-light conditions.
• Heavy-Duty 210D Nylon: Crafted from ultra-durable 210D nylon engineered to resist punctures, high ocean pressure, UV degradation, and saltwater corrosion.
• Versatile Size Selection: Offered in a wide range of lengths and widths (from compact 117 cm markers to high-profile 180 cm buoys) so you can choose the exact elevation and buoy volume your dive environment demands.
• Compact & Travel-Friendly: Rolls up tightly to store effortlessly inside your BCD pocket or clip onto a D-ring without adding unnecessary bulk to your rig.
• Essential Ocean Safety Gear: A mandatory safety standard for ocean drift diving, boat diving, night dives, and open-water signaling.

💡 Horizon Reef Team Tip:

For maximum contrast in different water conditions, Fluorescent Orange and Pink offer the highest visibility against blue water waves and whitecaps, while Green stands out exceptionally well in overcast skies or dusk! Always practice your SMB deployment at safety-stop depth before using it on strong drift dives.
