Options:
The easiest dive SMB to deploy - Self-sealing AP Valves BUDDY SMBCi (Surface Marker Buoy - Closed with Inflation Cylinder) features a lightweight aluminium mini-cylinder which is mounted at the foot of the buoy just above the internal baffle.

Available in Bright Red, HiViz Red & Yellow, or as an all-Yellow Signal Buoy.

Simply attach a line or reel and you have a superb decompression marker buoy and also a buoy that can be used as a standard surface marker.


The SMBCi features a lightweight aluminium mini-cylinder which is mounted at the foot of the buoy just above the internal baffle.

Cylinder Dimensions: 0.1 litre - 115mm x 50mm diam.

Easily replenished from the main cylinder, the mini-cylinder is small enough to fold unobtrusively inside the SMB to be stowed in pouch or pocket.

Deployment is simply a question of unfurling the SMB and cracking open the cylinder.

Developed from the popular BUDDY SMBC, the SMBCi also features a self-sealing baffle so that when inflated the mouth is sealed preventing accidental deflation at the surface.

Unlike normal open-ended 'sausage-style' SMBs both the SMBC and the SMBCi can be waved to attract attention at the surface.

An over-pressure / dump valve prevents bursting and allows deflation after use.

One key advantage of the BUDDY SMBCi over similar systems is that it can still be inflated via the baffle in the usual manner – with a DV or an air-gun - in the event that the diver has forgotten to fill the mini-cylinder.

Also like the SMBC the new marker buoy features a specially designed flap which folds over the mouth to prevent any ‘sea-anchor’ effect when being towed as a permanent marker buoy.

The new BUDDY SMBCi is available with either DIN or International A-clamp fittings.

Now available in original red, HiViz red and yellow or the all-yellow.

AP Valves Self-sealing BUDDY SMBCi with 0.1L cylinder
Author: Des Powell
  'TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY GREAT!'
Strengths: Quality, easy to use, frankly not that big!
Weaknesses: None so far. Note. When i got this I was offered a choice of the 0.1 or 0.2 litre. There is no point at all to the 0.2 and its a bigger bottle which is not required.
Overall: Mid water deployment with ease! Had this for a few years now and its a dream.

Mr Paul Bowen. p.s. I took delivery from yourselves yesterday of a Pinnacle Arctic ME 7 wet suit. Having trawled the internet for what seemed like an eternity, and after being let down by so many others, you are the only people who could genuinely supply and deliver the goods. The suit arrived in perfect condition and on time. Thank you, the service was excellent. !

Thanks for all your trouble!!! Next stop Thailand!! I am sure I will be in contact with you guys again…. Your gear is a lot better priced than in South Africa – even at R16.00 to the pound!! Regards, Steve Wilson !
