Characteristics
Stainless-steel attachment ring on the outside to use the surface marker buoy with a spool (sold separately).
Main fabric made of polyamide with a polyurethane coating that provides good resistance to abrasion and friction. Stitching protected and reinforced by protective material (braid).
It is equipped with two SOLAS reflective strips on the top to facilitate identification by the boat.
Inflating/deflating the surface marker
The surface marker buoy can be inflated in three ways: Typically, from below, with your mouth, or with a direct system hose using the inflater. It is, thus, inflatable on the surface.
Once inflated, the air is completely trapped. This allows it to always remain completely inflated.
It is equipped with a pressure relief valve to let air out in case of overpressure, i.e. if it is too inflated, especially at depth. This valve also allows the surface marker to be deflated.
