The Mares Safety Stop Buoy is a compact surface marker that flags your position while you hang on your safety stop or wait at the surface. Its large internal volume keeps it standing upright and stable once inflated, so a boat crew can pick out the bright orange marker from a distance.

It also folds down small. Packed away it tucks into its own bag, which makes it easy to carry on travel and for divers who want a signalling device that adds little to their kit. The built-in ring lets you clip the bag to the buoy itself or to a belt or D-ring.

Built from heavy-duty PVC and fitted with a brass hook, it is a practical safety buoy for Indian recreational divers on boat and shore dives where you want a reliable surface marker without the bulk.
