Diving with buoys (SMB)
Description
Boats and currents are two factors commonly associated with many dive sites. Boaters don't always notice divers in the area and the current can carry you farther than you think. Launching a Surface Signaling Device (DSMB) before you resurface can signal your position to others prior to your ascent. Adding another layer of safety, you can use the DSMB rope to complete your safety stop, useful when there is power or when there are no other visual cues. To learn the benefits of using a DSMB, sign up for this course.
To enroll in a DSMB Diver course, you must be a PADI Open Water Diver and be at least 12 years old.
Academic
Dive buoys serve various purposes and you will learn what types of DSMBs exist and which reels to use to control them. During two training dives, you will perform the following exercises:
How to prepare and store your DSMB and reel.
How to launch the DSMB from a stationary position and from mid-water.
Swim while you tow a DSMB and manage the reel and the line.
Make a safety stop using the DSMB rope.
Get credit! The first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course can be credited as an Adventure Dive towards your Advanced Open Water Diver certification - ask your instructor how to do this.
Equipment
In addition to your basic scuba gear, you will need a DSMB and a reel. Your PADI Instructor or your dive center staff will suggest additional equipment as needed.
