This Surface Marker Bouy (SMB) , or "safety sausage", is a necessary and valuable part of your dive gear. Here in south Florida we do a lot of drift diving. Most, if not all dive operations, require a safety sausage for each diver. This model is long enough and sturdy enough to be effective in its role of indicating your position to both the dive boat and to any other vessels in the area. It can be inflated at depth or on the surface. My opinion is when it comes to SMBs, longer is better and the orange color can be seen for longer distances. I recommend this product very highly.

I was able to snag a couple of these during the October Sale for $10 off. These devices are high quality and are easy to inflate. The whistle works well enough and the light stick holder is a nice feature. Definitely worth the price.

I recently purchased my safety tube and so far I've only inflated it for fun, it's made out of quality materials and it's light weight and easy to use this is truly a must to add to your dive gear.
