Fully Closed System with Oral Inflator:
The Apeks dSMB 1.4m is engineered with a fully closed system featuring an oral inflator. What does this mean for you? It means that with a single breath, you can fully inflate this buoy, ensuring rapid deployment in any underwater situation. No need for complicated inflation devices or extra equipment – just a quick and efficient way to make your presence known, enhance your safety, and communicate with your dive buddies.
High-Quality SOLAS Reflective Tape Panels:
Visibility is non-negotiable in diving, especially when you’re navigating through unpredictable underwater terrain. That’s why both sides of the Apeks dSMB 1.4m are equipped with high-quality SOLAS reflective tape panels. These panels reflect light and make you stand out, whether you’re diving during the day or exploring the depths at night. Your safety is paramount, and these reflective panels ensure you’re seen from all angles.
Versatility as an Emergency Float:
Diving often comes with unexpected situations. That’s why the Apeks dSMB 1.4m is designed to be versatile. Brass eyelets located at the ends of the float allow you to fold and secure the SMB into a floating loop using bolt snaps. This feature not only aids in storage but also transforms your buoy into an emergency float, offering additional peace of mind during your dives.
Unique Oral Inflation Valve:
Operating equipment in cold water can be challenging, but not with the Apeks dSMB 1.4m. Its unique oral inflation valve is designed for easy one-handed operation, even in frigid conditions. You won’t struggle to inflate your buoy when it matters most, ensuring your safety remains uncompromised.
2” Stainless Steel D-Ring:
Attaching your buoy to your reel or spool has never been easier. The 2” stainless steel D-ring provides a secure point of connection, ensuring your buoy stays where you need it, no matter the underwater conditions. This durable attachment point adds to the overall convenience of your diving experience.
Multiple Brass Eyelets:
The Apeks dSMB 1.4m doesn’t stop at buoyancy and visibility. It goes the extra mile with two brass eyelets at the top of the SMB. These eyelets serve multiple purposes – you can attach a torch, strobe, slate, or any accessory you need for your dive. Furthermore, they allow you to fold the SMB into a streamlined emergency float configuration, ensuring you’re always prepared for the unexpected.
SOLAS Reflective Tape on Both Sides:
Underwater environments can be unpredictable, with rough seas and low-light conditions. The Apeks dSMB 1.4m takes these challenges head-on with SOLAS reflective tape on both sides. Whether you’re ascending, waiting at a decompression stop, or surfacing in the darkness, this tape ensures you’re visible to those around you, enhancing your safety in all dive scenarios.
Simple Bungee Closure System:
Diving often requires wearing gloves, which can make equipment handling a bit tricky. The Apeks dSMB 1.4m solves this issue with a simple bungee closure system. The enlarged rubber pull tab is glove-friendly, making stowage and deployment effortless even when you’re suited up for cold water diving.
