Cressi Pro HD Surface Marker Buoy

Overview

The Cressi Pro HD Surface Marker Buoy is an inflatable signaling buoy designed for scuba divers to mark their position during ascent and at the surface.

Inflation and valve operation

The buoy can be inflated from the lower opening with a scuba regulator, by mouth through the oral inflator, or by connecting a compatible low-pressure BCD or dry-suit hose. When hose inflation is used, the connection stem self-releases so the rising buoy does not remain connected to the diver.

An internal heat-welded duckbill valve helps retain air after deployment, including in rough surface conditions. A separate overpressure valve relieves excess internal pressure and incorporates a pull handle for rapid deflation after use.

Visibility and handling

The reflective band near the top improves recognition at a distance, while an upper insert provides a mounting point for a compatible chemical light or strobe. A lead-weighted base helps the inflated buoy remain vertical so its signaling area stays presented above the water.

For storage, the buoy rolls around itself and is secured by two elastic bands. An attached DIR carabiner provides a convenient connection point for suitable scuba equipment between deployments.
