Delayed Surface Marker Buoy Diver

Surface marker buoys (SMBs) allow scuba divers to mark boundaries for mapping or search and recovery, alert boat traffic, or provide a line as a visual reference for ascending divers. During two dives, learn the proper techniques and protocols for using surface marker buoys and delayed surface marker buoys (DSMBs) in the local area.

What You Will Learn

Through hands-on training during two scuba dives and guidance from your PADI Professional, you’ll discover:

 

  • The proper techniques and protocols for using surface marker buoys and delayed surface marker buoys (DSMBs) in the local area.

  • How to prepare a DSMB for use

  • How to deploy a DSMB from the bottom & mid-water

  • Risks and hazards of DSMB use

 

Also, the first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
