BE SEEN, BE SAFE
High Visibility in the Open Ocean
Did You Know - AP invented the original self-sealing SMB over 20 years ago? Widely copied but never bettered - the original is still the best. Serious divers specify the AP SMB.
The extra long, self-sealing Surface Marker Buoy with Easifil inflator stem is more than double the length of a regular SMB and is designed specifically for maximum visibility in difficult conditions.
It features tried & tested AP features like top spec, high-frequency welded material, the Easifil inflator hose stem for easy snag-free inflation using your BC or dry-suit inflator hose and the AP self-sealing baffle which seals airtight on inflation. The baffle or duck-bill valve prevents deflation at the surface and also means you can hold the SMB aloft to wave it if necessary. It also comes with an extendable loop of webbing which allows the diver to stand in the loop holding the SMB vertical in the water.
The AP 3m SMBCi provides impressive visibility in the open ocean and comes loaded with additional features.
