HQ Diving Ultralight Braided Reef Pointer With Ruler
The HQ Diving Ultralight Reef Pointer With Ruler is a versatile tool used for diving. It can be tapped on the gas cylinder or shaken on the rod head to make a sound, attracting the attention of a partner. Additionally, it can be used to indicate directions or objects, replacing hands in interacting with seafloor organisms.
When the body is close to the bottom of the sea, organisms like corals can be avoided by using diving sticks. In challenging conditions like undercurrents, the diving stick can be inserted into reef gaps and held tightly to stabilise the body.
The diving rod is crafted from durable aluminium alloy with a smooth and bright surface, exuding a beautiful appearance.
The stick includes a 10cm laser scale, accurate to the millimetre, which aids underwater biological observation. The rod head has a stainless steel split ring, coupled with a coloured hand braided rope lanyard, allows for secure hanging on the BCD or wrist, effectively preventing loss.

Protect int the environment – Using a pointer instead of your hands or fins helps protect marine life. This minimises the risk of accidental contact with coral or marine creatures, reducing damage.
Stability in Currents – Stability in Currents: You can gently anchor yourself on a rock or dead coral using the pointer (never live coral) to maintain your position for photos, observation, or safety stops.
Effective Communication – Effective communication underwater can be achieved by tapping on your tank or pointing things out to your dive buddy without touching anything. This is a great non-verbal tool to use.
Aluminum alloy durability – is unmatched, won’t rust from saltwater, ensuring long-lasting performance even with frequent dives.
Multi-Function Use
- Besides pointing and anchoring, it can be used for:
- Checking small crevices for marine life (like lionfish or eels)
- Measuring things (some have marked lengths)
- Self-defense in rare emergencies (e.g., fending off aggressive animals)
Tips for Responsible Use:
- Never poke or harass marine life.
- Only use on dead coral or rocks, never on living coral or organisms.
- Rinse with fresh water after each dive to preserve its longevity.
