"Great product, the No Snag Webbing Deployment System
is just amazing and long overdue! It really simplifies the task of sending up
an SMB for your Safety Stop”.
“As a PADI 5 * CDC we are making this product available to
all of our IDC Candidates during their Course.
Showing them the ease of
deployment DVD makes this such an easy
sell especially now, with the New Standards Compliance regulations that we all
as PADI Pro’s must to adhere to on the use of SMB’s." Clive Martin

"A Surface Marker is in my BCD pocket
on every dive, no exception!
One of the cool things about the Surface Marker is the tangle-free Line
(aka webbing) and the stainless steel ring to loop around your thumb
for control from under water.
It didn't matter how you launch it, the
line unfurl automatically and the ring made it very easy to keep a hold
of the marker. It worked even better in running current conditions for
instructors & divemasters who need to deploy it quickly to let a
couple of their inexperienced divers keep a hold of the line, so the
group can stay together at the safety stop.
another cool part of it is during the ascent, the flat lanyard line is
so easy to "fold" and organize, hence by the time you get to the
surface, the line is already "rolled and wrapped" tightly under the
balloon; no more messy strings or ropes to tangle with.
I used the Surface Marker regularly as a training tool for our DMTs and
instructor candidates. Along with drift dives training, It can also be
used as a simple lift bag for Search & Recovery training dives,
allowing the candidates to practice lifting technique of objects 4-7 kg
in weight.
On an average, I broke about 4 safety markers per year, especially
during the peak diving months. So far, my first Surface Marker survived
about 200 dives without any hitch. Well, except for the sea water wear
and tear that erased the writing on the tube due to the abuse I give to
it every week :-)"

....easily the slickest SMB system
for the recreational diver that we carry. We first saw the system in
Thailand being used by the dive crew of SeaFun Divers and immedialty
brought it to the US and added it in-store and on-line as no other
manufacturer makes anything like it.
The WDS eliminates the need for a
spool and the attached compact storage bag makes it a easy to carry and
keep track of. The marker is the perfect size and deploys without a
catch. We always recommend using a marker or lift bag for any free
ascent and this is everything you need in one compact package to dive
safely. Overall, this is by far the best marker system we have ever
found. Especially for the money, which is a true bargain with most
markers selling for more.
