Rating: Can you see me now
Reviewer: Joseph Nowak, Friday, September 04, 2009 - View all my reviews
Having seen divers come up a ways away and need to be seen for the dive boat to come get them, I bought this SMB. I like that it inflates from the octo, so you can send it up while still at a safety stop. I dont want to try an oral inflation or use the lpi on the bcd to inflate while in rough seas in the Atlantic. I will keep this with me.

Rating: Effective but awkward
Reviewer: Alfred Garren, Thursday, August 13, 2009 - View all my reviews
This SMB is easily seen on the surface but it is awkward to carry. Keeping it inside the supplied carrying bag makes it too large to fit in most BCD pockets, if you snap the bag on the outside it dangles and creates drag. If the manufacturer had provided a velcro tie on the SMB it could be rolled up and stored in a BCD pocket more easily but they did not. The line supplied is worthless so plan on replacinging it.

Rating: Mares Surface Marker Buoy
Reviewer: Tara B., Tuesday, July 08, 2008 - View all my reviews
Negatives - seems shorter than regular safety sausages (maybe because its a surface marker primarily). Maybe only 5 feet long? A bit heavy to carry around in your BC because of the magnetic closure at the bottom of the tube. Thick plastic and straps make this a durable-seeming product. Carrying case is handy too.

THe SMB is good, but the bag tore at the seams, after 45 dives.

I love the SMB, but the string was a joke. Replaced it with a good 15 line.
