Halcyon Oral-Inflate 3.3′ SMB
The orange Halcyon Oral-Inflate 3.3′ SMB is a 1m long surface marker buoy (SMB) designed for surface deployment only. It does not feature a pressure relief valve, making it unsuitable for deployment from depth.
When deflated, it can be conveniently stored in a pocket or in the Halcyon MC Storage Pak attached to your backplate. The bright orange color ensures maximum visibility, providing redundant flotation for enhanced diving safety and peace of mind.
Please Note: Due to its shorter length and width, the 3.3′ SMB is not recommended as a primary SMB for UK boat diving. For UK boat diving, Halcyon’s primary SMB options include:
- Halcyon Closed Alert Marker 6′ SMB
- Halcyon 6′ SLIM Closed Alert Marker SMB
- Halcyon Closed Alert Marker 4.5′ SMB
Halcyon Oral-Inflate 3.3′ SMB Features:
- Material: 200 denier nylon
- Lift Capacity: 2.7 kg
- Length: 3.3′ (1m)
