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 and flotation.
The cord has a breaking strain of 50kg and the advantage of being positively buoyant which means that it will rise above the sea-bed or wreckage when played out and so help avoid entanglement.
If the line is accidently wound all the way into the reel body, the end is easily identified and 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 and allows deflation after use.
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.
