Very compact. First with a 160' finger spool in one BCD pocket. Does NOT have any writing on it, solid orange. It's works.

Remember to get a line reel so you can deploy it when needed

This is a great signal marker, purchased to replace one that had become faded and developed a leak. Use it daily when diving in Cozumel.

Inexpensive option that works perfectly fine. It's compact and easy to inflate.

Me and my dive buddy got separated from two other divers on a dive trip on a new location. Upon surfacing, the weather changed drastically. Waves were really strong and our boat couldn't be located. We weren't able to swim ashore because it was a huge wall of rocks (we would have been slammed into it). I had no whistle, no signal device (the horn that connects to the inflator) and no marker. Vomited probably 4 to 5 times... I was desperate. After 15 to 30 mins (felt like a lifetime), the boat finally saw my dive buddy's red marker. When we got to the shore, I swore I would never dive again. Two weeks later, we were diving again lol. I bought the marker, the signaling device and the probably going to buy the whistle just in case. I hope you never have to use any of these emergency things but if the situation arises, you don't want to be thinking how 20 dollars could have saved your ass. My buddy used his marker approximately 5 years after he bought it. It's been tucked in of the pockets in his BCD all this time, sometimes taking it out to wash it. When he finally used it, it didn't fail. So, I bought the same lol.

Serves the purpose. Easy to use and lightweight. A good safety tool for peace of mind in choppy/hard to see trips

This can only be filled by mouth. cannot fill with your regulator under water.

Great price & goid quality. I hope I never have to use it but it's better to have it & not need it.

The signaling tube came as advertised and is definitely visible for any trouble situations...worth the investment

If you aren't willing to invest in a higher quality SMB this one gets the job done.

I added "DIVER" in large letters. The tube itself works well but its just another floating object for dumb boaters. When they see "diver", "diving" of similar they keep their distance.

I'm impressed how fast this safety sausage inflates. It seems like three deep breaths and it is sticking straight up. I got the yellow color and love how clear and obvious it is.

Wish I knew it did not have a open bottom to allow for another method to fill.

Exactly what I wanted! at a great low price! Tube is made of great heavy canvas/nylon material! Easy to inflate/deflate :-)

It is a great safety tool for dive excursions on a cruise, shore diving in Bonaire or anywhere in the world. Small compact

You want the largest size available when your in trouble and waiting on a pick up. I have only needed it once and since the Coast Guard had trouble finding me with the larger size this one would be inadequate. Surprising how small they get when large swells and fog separate you from a boat. This and a whistle are your life savers.

This is a good travel sausage - Fits in the pocket of a BC vest and is easy to deploy. Mouth inflated - and has a clip on a short strap to attach to a D ring. This is a medium size sausage - in bright colors - good for drift diving or emergency use. The attachment strap is too short so I extend it half a foot with a cord looped through the D ring. Every diver should have one for poor visibility - rough water - drift diving.

I haven't had to use this yet (thankfully) but I love that it is bright orange and was a great price! I unrolled it and inflated it slightly just to make sure it works and it was very easy to use and rolls back up great!

After receiving this item in the mail, I unrolled it and attempted to blow it up. Immediately I was taken aback by the cheap feeling of the material compared to others I had used. As I attempted to blow it up i realized there was a hole through one side and out the other near the base. No idea what caused it as it appeared to be in original packaging and unused. I sent it back for a refund. Perhaps this would be a reasonable buy at half the price, but certainly not worth $20.

Small compact. Easy to repack after use. I've used it a couple times and it looks like it will last a while. It was inexpensive.

Be sure to attach another loop/clip. The plastic clip opened-up on me and I lost mine while diving. Otherwise, thiis is a good product. I like how it holds the air and does not deflate at the surface like some do. Do not over-fill when deploying from depth - they can rupture due to air expansion

When you do a late afternoon dive with heavy currents, and you drift away from the dive boat. Its nice to have a big signal to get their attention.

Dive Signal Tubes are now a requirement for all divers.
If you don't dive with a Signal Tube Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) you need to start now, it makes sense to be safe! The dive signal tube is made of durable Cordura material and comes in yellow or orange color for easy identification at the surface. The attachable gate snap clip makes carrying the bag simple and handy. Signal Tube independently inflates with a screw down locking oral inflation mouthpiece to 45" (114 3cm) tall making it easy to see from a distance.
