Easily the most feature-rich SMB on the market today. This premium 1.4-metre safety tube is engineered around a unique, fully closed-cell system that allows the buoy to be completely filled on a single human breath, ensuring rapid, reliable deployment in any emergency or standard ascent protocol.

Constructed with high-visibility fabrics and heavy-duty, heat-sealed perimeter edges, this surface marker buoy features premium SOLAS reflective panels on both sides to guarantee maximum detection from rescue vessels, dive boats, and shore crews. We manage secure transaction processing and provide fast, reliable shipping on all aquatic safety gear right to your door, anywhere in Canada!

Active Stock Notice: The yellow colour variation has been officially discontinued by the manufacturer. Our active warehouse stock is focused on the high-visibility orange profile. In diving safety protocols, orange is widely preferred for general location marking and everyday surface signaling.

Elite One-Breath Inflation & Marine-Grade Visibility

  • Single-Breath Oral Valve: Equipped with a unique, one-way oral inflation valve designed for easy, one-handed operation in freezing environments. This allows full inflation on a single breath without dropping your regulator or struggling with heavy cold-water drysuit gloves.
  • Dual-Sided SOLAS Tape Panels: Features marine-certified, premium SOLAS reflective tape blocks across both faces of the upper tube, providing exceptional light bounce to ensure maximum visibility in rough seas, heavy surface chop, and pitch darkness.
  • Integrated Overpressure Relief Valve: Built with an automatic overpressure valve (OPV) that releases expanding gas as the buoy ascends from depth, preventing catastrophic cell ruptures. Includes an oversized pull-toggle for manual deflation at the surface.

Rigging Hardware & Glove-Friendly Stowage

  • Solid Stainless Steel Anchor D-Ring: Features a heavy-duty 2-inch marine grade stainless steel D-ring firmly anchored to the base, allowing for fast, secure bolt-snap connections to your primary reel or finger spool line.
  • Dual Top Brass Eyelets: Built with 2 heavy brass grommets at the apex of the tube to facilitate quick clip-off points for auxiliary back-up gear, signaling slates, backup strobes, or high-intensity dive lights. They also enable the deflated SMB to be folded down tight and lashed as an emergency float.
  • Bungee Closure with Enlarged Tab: Utilizes a reliable, simple integrated bungee loop system complete with an enlarged rubber pull tab, making stowage on a backplate or inside a BCD pocket completely effortless even when manual dexterity is limited by freezing water.
  • High-Durability Construction: Fully taped, double-stitched, and high-frequency heat-sealed edges ensure the air cells never delaminate. Finished with a custom reflective brand logo print for added surface protection.
