The Open Buoy 22/135 cm with Weights provides reliable surface signalling for recreational and technical divers. It offers strong buoyancy and clear visibility, which helps divers maintain communication with surface teams. Because it uses an open‑ended design, it inflates quickly and deploys smoothly in shifting conditions.
This buoy features a bright, durable exterior that enhances safety in busy waters. Its vivid colour stands out on the surface, improving recognition by boats and support crews. Additionally, the tall 135 cm profile increases visibility at greater distances, even in rough seas.
Weighted Stability System
Integrated weights at the base keep the buoy upright during deployment and surface drift. These weights stabilise the buoy, which prevents rolling or collapsing in waves. As a result, the buoy maintains a clear vertical signal that remains easy to identify from support vessels.
Open‑Ended Inflation
The open bottom allows fast inflation using a regulator or exhaled air. This simple system prevents over‑pressurisation, since excess gas escapes freely during ascent. Therefore, the buoy maintains a consistent shape without requiring valves or complex fittings. Divers appreciate this design because it reduces task loading during ascent.
Dimensions and Performance
The buoy measures 135 cm in length, offering excellent visibility without becoming difficult to manage. Its 22 cm width provides a strong lift, which helps the buoy remain upright on the surface. This balanced design ensures effective signalling even when currents increase.
A strengthened section provides a secure point for attaching a reel or spool. This connection supports controlled deployment from depth, which helps divers ascend safely while maintaining a fixed reference. The attachment point withstands repeated tension, ensuring long‑term reliability.
Built from robust materials, the buoy resists abrasion, folding stress, and repeated use. This durability allows divers to pack and transport it easily without reducing performance. Furthermore, the buoy dries quickly, which helps prevent odour and material degradation over time.
Versatile Applications
The buoy suits recreational divers, technical divers, and training environments. It supports ascent practice, surface signalling, and emergency procedures. Because it deploys quickly, it performs well in situations where immediate visibility is essential.
Compact Storage and Easy Handling
Divers can store the buoy in a pocket or clip it to a D‑ring for fast access. Its compact form supports efficient equipment organisation, which helps divers maintain streamlined profiles underwater. When required, the buoy deploys smoothly, allowing divers to focus on ascent control and situational awareness.
