Survival Now™ Diving Safety Inflatable SMB

1.2/1.5/1.8m Buoy | Three-Way Inflatable | Scuba Dive Surface Marker | Essential for Dive Safety & Visibility


Enhance Your Underwater Safety with the Survival Now™ Inflatable SMB

Introducing the Survival Now™ 1.2/1.5/1.8m Diving Buoy Safety Inflatable SMB, a high-visibility surface marker buoy essential for ensuring your safety and visibility during scuba diving, free diving, or snorkeling. Engineered with premium materials, three inflation methods, and a robust design, this SMB (Surface Marker Buoy) keeps you visible to boat traffic and dive partners while also providing a dependable reference point on the surface. Compact, lightweight, and simple to deploy, it’s a must-have accessory for serious divers, underwater instructors, or anyone prioritizing safety in the open water.


1. High-Visibility Surface Marker for Safe Diving

Bright, Attention-Grabbing Colors

  • Neon Orange or Yellow (Model Dependent): Ensures maximum visibility at a distance, alerting boats and fellow divers to your position.
  • Reflective Strips (Optional): Enhances visibility under low-light or choppy conditions, reducing the risk of collisions.

Extended Length Options

  • 1.2m, 1.5m, or 1.8m: Choose the right size for your diving conditions, ensuring the SMB remains clearly visible above water.

2. Three-Way Inflatable Design

Oral Inflation

  • Mouth Valve Access: Blow into the designated valve for quick, reliable inflation.
  • Convenient & Simple: No extra tools or equipment required, ideal for emergency deployment.

BCD Low-Pressure Inflator (Optional)

  • Direct Connection: Attach the SMB to your BCD’s inflator hose for a rapid fill without manual effort.
  • Hands-Free Efficiency: Minimizes manual tasks during a dive’s critical moments.

Open Bottom Inflation (Optional)

  • Exhaust Air from Regulator: Capture exhaled air to fill the SMB, practical in deeper waters or when time is critical.
  • Secured One-Way Mechanism: Prevents air escape once inflated.

3. Durable & Reliable Construction

High-Quality Nylon/PVC Material

  • Rip-Stop Fabric: Resists abrasions, punctures, and wear from daily dive use.
  • Waterproof Coating: Prevents leaks and maintains optimal buoyancy at the surface.

Robust Seam Welding

  • Heat-Welded or Double-Stitched Seams: Minimizes the risk of seam failure under water pressure, ensuring each SMB remains airtight.
  • Impact & Tear Resistance: Handles rough surfaces, contact with rocks, or entanglements with minimal damage.

4. Optimal Buoyancy & Stability

Balanced Inflation

  • Secure Surface Floatation: Once inflated, the SMB stands upright on the surface, resisting wind and waves.
  • Weighted Bottom (Optional): Keeps the marker vertical in choppy waters, enhancing visibility.

Clear Top Seal/Reflector (Model Dependent)

  • No Sagging or Collapsing: Maintains consistent shape above water, ensuring constant visibility for boat traffic.

5. Easy Deployment & Storage

Compact, Foldable Design

  • Rolls or Folds Tight: Fits neatly into BCD pockets, clips to gear, or stows in a dive bag without consuming space.
  • Lightweight & Portable: Weighs less than 250–400g, ideal for travel divers or those carrying multiple accessories.

Convenient Attachment Points

  • Stainless Steel D-Rings (Optional): Attach reels, lines, or carabiners for controlled deployment.
  • Strap & Clip (Optional): Secure the SMB to a belt or BCD, ensuring easy access mid-dive.
