Buddy Pocket Reel & A.P. Valves SMB Small reel with one of the best SMB's on the market Buddy Pocket Reel: The reel is wound with 45m of floating line
- manufactured to our own specifications for the optimum combination of strength & flotation. The cord has a breaking strain of 50kg & the advantage of being positively buoyant which means that it will rise above the sea-bed or wreckage when played out & so help avoid entanglement. If the line is accidently wound all the way into the reel body, the end is easily identified & recovered by means of a large attached O ring. AP Valves Sealing SMB SMBC
- Surface Marker Buoy Closed (self-sealing)
- developed exclusively by the A.P. Valves' design team
- has what appears to be an open ended base but as soon as you fill the buoy the internal baffle is forced shut preventing the buoy from accidentally deflating on the surface. The SMBC also features a stream-lining flap which closes over the mouth when used in a current to prevent any sea-anchor effect. The AP5 over-pressure / dump valve prevents the buoy from bursting & allows deflation after use. Simply attach a line or reel & you have a superb decompression marker buoy & also a buoy that can be used as a standard surface marker.
