Rob Allen Hard Float (7 Liter Hollow Core)

Overview

The Rob Allen 7L Hollow Core Hard Float is a rigid spearfishing buoy designed to serve as the surface float in float-line systems for bluewater and boat-diving use. Its compact profile packs more easily than earlier Rob Allen hard-float designs while remaining highly visible at the surface.

Construction and use

The hollow version has an empty interior rather than a foam-filled core, enclosed by a tough polyethylene shell. The rigid exterior is suited to the knocks and abrasion associated with transport and diving use, and the float can also be towed behind a boat during drift dives.

Rigging and accessories

The float can be incorporated into float-line and bungee setups. A compatible flag can be fitted for additional surface marking; the flag and weight are sold separately.
