What's the difference between a diving buoy and a racing buoy?

Diving buoys are designed for maximum visibility and often include accessories such as floating lines and storage nets. Racing buoys, on the other hand, are more robust and stable, designed to withstand adverse weather conditions and accurately mark the race course.

How do I choose the right size for a diving buoy?

The size of the diving buoy depends on the desired visibility and the depth of the dive. In general, it is advisable to choose a larger buoy for dives in deep water or in low visibility conditions. Our buoys come in sizes up to 160 cm.

Can I use a racing buoy as a diving buoy?

Technically yes, but it is not recommended. Racing buoys are not designed for the optimal visibility required for scuba diving and may not include the necessary safety accessories for divers.

What type of line should I use for a diving buoy?

It is advisable to use a floating polypropylene line to prevent the line from getting caught on the seabed. Make sure the line is long enough to reach the surface even at the maximum diving depth.
