The Mares 'Diver Below' Standard Buoy is a surface signalling float built for stability and visibility on the water. Its oval shape and bright orange colour make it easy to spot from a distance, and the 'Diver Below' flag is moulded into the one-piece body so it can never be misplaced, even when stored away or hit by strong wind and waves.
The clever part is the double air chamber design. You can use the second chamber as a safety backup, or partially fill it with water to weigh the base and lock the buoy into a perfect upright position. That makes it dependable in rougher conditions where a lighter marker would lean or roll.
Constructed from heavy-duty PVC as a single sealed unit, it is a rugged, low-maintenance surface marker for Indian recreational divers who want a stable boat-side or shore float that holds its position in less-than-calm water.

Frequently asked questions
The double chamber gives you a safety backup if one is compromised, and the second chamber can be partly filled with water to keep the buoy standing perfectly upright in rough conditions.
No. The 'Diver Below' flag is built into the one-piece body, so it stays put even in strong wind, waves or when the buoy is packed away.
Yes. The oval shape and the option to water-ballast the lower chamber help it hold an upright position when conditions are less than calm.
No. The flag is integrated into the moulded body, so there is nothing extra to assemble or attach before a dive.
