Survival Now™ 18cm x 180cm Scuba Diving Surface Marker Buoy (SMB)

Professional-Grade Diver Safety | High-Quality Underwater Tube | Ensures Visibility & Security for Scuba Adventures


Elevate Your Dive Safety with the Survival Now™ 18cm x 180cm SMB

Introducing the Survival Now™ 18CM*180CM Scuba Diving Surface Marker Buoy, meticulously designed to enhance visibility, protect divers, and promote safe ascents in open-water or drift diving scenarios. Made from robust, high-quality materials, this professional SMB ensures you stand out on the surface, whether you’re ascending from a wreck dive, signaling a boat, or simply exploring reefs at depth. With its bright color, upright inflation, and reinforced seams, this SMB is indispensable for any serious diver seeking maximum security and ease of use.


1. Superior Size & Visibility

Extended 180cm Length

  • Tall & Eye-Catching: At a full 180cm, the SMB stands above choppy waves or swells, ensuring boats and surface teams spot you quickly.
  • Ideal for Drift Diving: A noticeable marker in fast-moving currents where pinpoint surface location is crucial.

Optimal 18cm Diameter

  • Sturdy Diameter: Maintains a stable, cylindrical shape in windy or rough conditions, reducing the risk of collapse.
  • High-Contrast Colors (Model Dependent): Typically available in neon orange, yellow, or pink for maximum surface impact.

2. Rugged, High-Quality Construction

Durable Nylon/PVC Coated Fabric

  • Tear-Resistant Material: Withstands abrasions from coral, boat hulls, or rocky shores.
  • Waterproof & Quick-Dry: Minimizes moisture retention, preventing mold or odor over multiple dives.

Reinforced Seams

  • Double-Stitched Welding: Combines stitching with specialized welds at stress points, reducing seam failure under tension.
  • Enhanced Longevity: Resists inflation pressure and repeated usage across numerous dive seasons.

3. Streamlined Deployment & Inflation

Oral Inflation Valve

  • Effortless Inflation: Blow directly through a one-way valve for quick, easy deployment mid-water or at the surface.
  • Leak-Free Design: The high-grade valve prevents air escape, ensuring the SMB remains upright until retrieval.

BCD Low-Pressure Inflator (Model Dependent)

  • Optional Inflator Connection: Attach to your buoyancy control device for rapid fill without manual effort.
  • Hands-Free Operation: Minimizes tasks during critical ascents in deeper waters.

4. Vertical Stability & Anti-Roll Feature

Weighted Bottom or Weighted Pouches (Optional)

  • Upright Positioning: A small weight or pouch at the SMB’s base keeps it vertical on the surface, crucial for wind or wave conditions.
  • Reduced Drift & Rolling: Limits horizontal collapse, letting the buoy stand tall for extended periods.

One-Way Check Valve

  • Secure Air Retention: Locks inflation air in the SMB, preventing deflation if the valve is submerged or wave action is vigorous.

5. High-Visibility Markings & Reflectors

Reflective Tape Strips (Model Dependent)

  • Night & Low-Light Identification: Intensifies surface visibility, aiding nighttime or deep-water rescues.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meets or exceeds standard diving safety norms in many regions.

Printed “Diver Below” or Custom Text (Optional)

  • Clear Messaging: Communicate crucial info to surface vessels or passerby boaters.
  • Branding/Customization: Ideal for dive schools or businesses wanting a professional look.

6. Compact & Foldable for Easy Storage

Lightweight Construction

  • Reduced Underwater Drag: Easy to clip onto a D-ring or stow in a BCD pocket, preventing tangles or entanglements.
  • Minimal Weight: Typically 200–350g, which doesn’t impede buoyancy or swimming motion.

Foldable & Wrinkle-Resistant

  • Quick Deployment: Deploy in seconds, essential during drift dives, strong currents, or unpredictable conditions.
  • Neat, Space-Saving: Collapses for tidy storage in small gear compartments.
