Reels, Buoys and SMB's

Reels, Buoys & SMBs – Be Seen, Stay Safe, Dive Smart

Surface Marker Buoys (SMBs), reels, and buoys are essential safety tools that no diver should be without—especially when diving in currents, deeper sites, or boat traffic areas. They ensure you're visible during your ascent and on the surface, and allow for controlled ascents and accurate navigation.

SMBs (or safety sausages) come in high-visibility colours and can be deployed from depth or at the surface. Pair them with a reel or spool to send your buoy up during safety stops or decompression, giving you control and keeping you connected.

Choose from closed, semi-closed, or open-ended SMBs, depending on your training and dive style. Reels and spools vary in size and length, with options for everything from simple recreational diving to complex technical dives.

Compact, reliable, and easy to deploy—this gear may seem simple, but it plays a huge role in making your dives safer and more controlled.
