5ft Surface Marker Buoy For Diver Safety High Visibility Open Bottom SMB With Oral Inflator And Reflective Strip Ideal For Signaling The Boat And Marking Safety Stops In Orange And Fluorescent Yellow

Single 5ft SMB for Diver Signaling and Safety
✔️ 5ft surface marker buoy, orange/yellow, reflective strip, open bottom

This 5ft surface marker buoy (SMB) is essential scuba gear used to mark a diver's location during safety stops and decompression, and to signal the boat when surfacing away from the group. Its bright orange and fluorescent yellow colors with a dive flag pattern ensure high visibility in choppy waters, while a reflective strip helps night signaling. The open-bottom design allows quick inflation and deflation, reducing drag during ascent.
