OceanPro Stainless Steel Reef Pointer
The OceanPro Stainless Steel Reef Pointer is one of the most popular accessories when diving in delicate reef eco systems. Commonly used by guides to identify features on a reef without human contamination via touching.
Protects Marine Life
Instead of using your hands or fins, a pointer helps you avoid accidental contact with coral or marine creatures, minimizing damage.
Stability in Currents
You can gently anchor yourself on a rock or dead coral using the pointer (never live coral), keeping your position stable for photos, observation, or safety stops.
Effective Communication
Tap on your tank or point things out to your dive buddy without touching anything. It’s a great non-verbal tool underwater.
Durability
Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion from saltwater, making it long-lasting 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.
