Aqualung Deco Stop Buoy
The Aqualung Deco Stop Buoy is one of the most basic pieces of safety equipment every diver should carry, used on decompression stops (Safety Stop), for drift diving and signalling to your dive boat as to your whereabouts.
This Aqualung Deco Smb uses a unique one way Duck Bill valve and has an Oral inflate valve for convenience which can be inflated using a LP QD BC hose.
A Steel D-Ring for attachment to a Dive Reel or Spool or Anchor Line along with a built-in Wrist Lanyard and a built-in dump valve for easily removing the air after dives and so as the SMB can’t burst under pressures as it is deployed from depths.
