WHAT IS A SNORKELBUOY®?
SNORKELBUOY® is a red-and-white, highly visible buoy that supports a snorkel and attached mask, keeping them afloat on the water’s surface. It prevents loss and replacement costs for snorkelers while also protecting marine life and coral by stopping equipment from sinking and damaging the seabed. Using a SNORKELBUOY® gives the snorkeler a distinctive profile, making them easier to identify within a group. SNORKELBUOY® is not a safety device, but its floating, visible mask and snorkel could alert nearby swimmers, divers, or boats that someone may have lost equipment and could be in trouble. SNORKELBUOY® is easy to use: the snorkel fits tightly into the SNORKELBUOY®, allowing the snorkel and attached mask to float if dropped in the water.
Not only is it great in case your mask and snorkel are knocked off your head or you just drop them, but now when snorkeling from our boat, we just toss them into the water and dive in after them, knowing they’re floating and waiting for us. Before, we’d have to carefully get in the water holding them, or put them on and hope they weren’t knocked off when we jumped, or else get someone to hand them to us once we were in the water. Now it’s just “Toss and Dive!”.
I put one on my camera strap too, so that floats as well and is easily visible on the surface – amazing – so easy!
Applying soft soap, petroleum jelly, or silicone grease helps slide the SNORKELBUOY® onto the snorkel; it is designed as a tight, permanent fit
ABOUT SNORKELBUOY®
Ever lose your mask and snorkel while snorkeling or scuba diving? Instead of watching them sink irretrievably into the depths of the ocean, now watch them float on the surface with your new SNORKELBUOY® (as long as your mask is securely attached to your snorkel with a strong snorkel-keeper, sold separately). It is a simple snorkel flotation device, or snorkel float. SNORKELBUOY® is suitable for both saltwater and freshwater use.
SNORKELBUOY® resembles the colors of a “Diver Down” dive flag, with the red SNORKELBUOY® and the diagonal white stripe. The bright color makes the SNORKELBUOY® easy to see, and with the correct placement, the tip of the snorkel should be visible as it will jut out above the water’s surface. The SNORKELBUOY®’s special buoyant foam will not affect the user’s buoyancy when SCUBA diving or snorkeling below the surface.
SNORKELBUOY® HAS BEEN DIVE TESTED SUCCESSFULLY TO 31.2 METERS (102.36 feet) BY A MASTER SCUBA DIVER! IT IS THEREFORE DIVE TESTED AND APPROVED (I.E. DOES NOT AFFECT A DIVER’S BUOYANCY WHILE DIVING).
ALWAYS ALWAYS HAVE A “DIVER DOWN” DIVE FLAG WITH YOU WHEN YOU SNORKEL AND DIVE, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE – RIVER, LAKE, OCEAN….. IT’S AN ESSENTIAL PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT. If you are diving from a boat, the boat should always display a large DIVE FLAG. If you're snorkeling or diving, always tow a DIVE FLAG with you so that you are easily visible.
