DSMB (Delayed Surface Marker Buoy) Speciality Course
Boats and currents are two common factors associated with many dive sites.
Boaters and fishermen don't always recognize that divers are in the area and current can carry you further than expected. Launching a Delayed Surface Marker Buoy (DSMB) before you surface can alert others to your location in advance of your ascent. Adding another layer of safety, you can also use the DSMB line to complete your safety stop, which is advantageous in a current or when there are no other visual references. Take this course to learn about all the beneficial uses of a DSMB.
Most of our PADI Speciality courses are very personal experiences often on a one-to-one basis with one of our award-winning team, if a suitable date isn’t shown below, please call the office on 01243 202200 to discuss arranging a suitable date.
