PADI DELAYED SURFACE MARKER BUOY
Searching Availability...
Ready to launch?
The PADI Surface Marker Buoy Specialty course gives you the knowledge and techniques required for the safe use of marker buoys and delayed surface marker buoys.
Surface marker buoys (SMBs), allow scuba divers to mark boundaries for mapping or search and recovery, alert boat traffic, or provide a line as a visual reference for ascending divers. During two dives, learn the proper techniques and protocols for using surface marker buoys and delayed surface marker buoys (DSMBs) at the lake.
You will also practice using a number of reels and launch methods from both negative and neutrally buoyant positions. These skills will prove vital when diving in strong drift dives or boat traffic is present.
