Surface Marker Buoy
About this Course
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) in the local area.
The ability to deploy a delayed Surface Marker Buoy is essential for any “autonomous” diver and is an extremely important safety skill. This is particularly relevant in our local environment due to the amount of boat traffic in high season and as this competence is a legal requirement to be able to dive without a guide in France.
