The Surface Marker Pro Buoy is a Delayed Surface Marker Buoy (DSMB)
that should be inflated at depth prior to ascent via the opening at the
bottom of the unit. The self sealing internal baffle will ensure that
the unit stays fully inflated during its ascent and on the surface.The
expanding air is vented via the Over Pressure Release Valve.
Surface Marker Pro is available in three colour combination:
Safety Orange - Both
sides of the buoy are orange. This is normally used by tech divers in
most parts of the world during their ascent and decompression stop to
signal the All OK.
Neon Yellow - Both
sides of the buoy are yellow. This is normally used by tech divers in
most parts of the world during ascent to signal that the diver or a
member of the team has encountered a problem and may require immediate
assistance by the support team. A dive slate can be attached to the top
handle communicating the nature of the problem.
Orange / Yellow Combo - With
both an orange and a yellow panel this is by far the most visible combo
for the recreational diver. The orange panel is more visible in bright
sunlight and significant glare. While the yellow panel will prove its
worth as light deteriorates and the rain clouds move in. The contrast
provided by the two alternating panels with the added effect of the
Solas tape will ensure that you stand out.
Important Note: The colour signal codes are not
standard and may vary regionally and by vessel. The Orange / Yellow
Combo is the best choice for recreational divers. It is highly unlikely
that recreational and tech divers will be diving the same sight and
that a Orange / Yellow Combo buoy be confused for a distress signal as
buoys do not remain static while attached to a line and both sides will
be visible in a very short period of time.
