Serving as your primary tactical deployment asset during ascents, safety stops, and mid-water decompression profiles, the YASI SMB features an advanced self-sealing internal baffle layout that retains full inflation volume even if the buoy is knocked flat on the surface waves. Forged from high-tensile, lightweight technical polymers and outfitted with industry-standard SOLAS-A reflective paneling, this 11.1-liter signaling column ensures maximum visual tracking across long distances, high swell states, and low-light marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Safety Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Self-Sealing Bottom Entry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smart internal baffle structure allows for effortless inflation via a regulator second stage or oral inflator, instantly locking gas inside to prevent accidental deflation on the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSOLAS-A High-Intensity Reflective Tape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium, marine-certified SOLAS reflective panels affixed to the apex of the buoy provide maximum retroreflective return under searchlight beams for night or low-visibility tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibrated Over-Pressure Valve (OPV):\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision mechanical pressure release valve automatically exhausts expanding gas during rapid ascents from depth, preventing structural seam ruptures while allowing manual pull-dump venting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Maritime Signaling Print:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-contrast \"Diver Below\" warning graphics and explicit dive flag icons are permanently sublimated into the textile matrix to maximize recognition by nearby boat traffic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Top-Mounted D-Ring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rugged, corrosion-free plastic D-ring anchor point provides a secure attachment interface for backup slate lines, strobe markers, or surface emergency lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Compact Rolled Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Streamlined internal volume compresses down to an incredibly tight 8cm diameter, tucking away cleanly inside drysuit thigh pockets or clipping seamlessly to a technical harness configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"specifications-tables\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications \u0026amp; Volumetric Parameters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTechnical Parameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Construction Standard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-Sealing High-Visibility Surface Marker Buoy (SMB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Inflated Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e142cm (Length) x 21cm (Width)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStowed \/ Rolled Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26cm (Width) x 8cm (Diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Gas Volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.1 Litres (High-Buoyancy Column)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNet Dry Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300g (Lightweight Expedition Profile)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChromatographic Safety Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Visibility International Safety Orange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"technology\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tech-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSELF-SEALING GAS RETENTION \u0026amp; PRESSURE EQUALIZATION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard open-ended surface markers suffer from a critical failure vector: if the buoy falls over in heavy surface swells or if tension on the reel line is briefly relaxed, the air inside immediately vents out the bottom, causing the marker to sink out of sight. The YASI Surface Marker Buoy overcomes this limitation through its integrated one-way internal baffle matrix. Gas enters smoothly from beneath but is blocked from exiting along the same path. Combined with a robust over-pressure valve that releases excess gas as ambient hydrostatic pressure drops during ascent, the buoy arrives at the surface perfectly rigid and maintains its full 11.1-liter volume to give your surface tracking team an uncompromised visual target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Divealot Scuba","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57731895034229,"sku":null,"price":44.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/1588\/4738\/files\/YASIDSMB.png?v=1793979529"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.divealotscuba.co.uk\/collections\/yasi.oembed","provider":"Divealot Scuba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
