Product Information
The Akona Safety Tube is an inflatable, hi-visibility orange surface signaling device for scuba divers, snorkelers and anyone who needs to be seen. It measures 40 inches long with a 7.5 inch circumference, is inflated independently by mouthpiece, and packs into an included nylon carry bag with a snap clip.
Who it is for
This is a surface signal device for divers who surface away from the boat, for drift and open water dives where a pickup vessel needs a visible target, and for snorkelers, freedivers and paddlers who want a compact marker in their pocket or clipped to a BCD D-ring. Because it inflates with your own breath and not from a regulator or tank, it also works for non-scuba water activities where no air source is available.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you inflate the Akona Safety Tube?
You inflate it with your mouth, not from a regulator or tank. Pull out the nipple at the bottom of the tube, blow air into it until the tube is firm, then push the nipple back in to close the opening. Because it is independently inflated by mouthpiece, it can also be used by snorkelers, swimmers and paddlers who have no compressed air source.
How big is the Akona Safety Tube and how does it store?
The tube is 40 inches long with a 7.5 inch circumference when inflated. Deflated, it rolls into the included nylon carry bag that measures 5.5 inches by 2.75 inches. The bag has an easy attachable snap clip, so you can secure it to a D-ring or gear loop instead of stowing it loose.
Can the Akona Safety Tube be used for night dives?
Yes. To signal at night, simply hold an AKONA light to the safety tube. The tube itself has no built in light or battery, so you supply the light source. During daylight the bright hi-visibility orange color does the signaling on its own.
What is included with the Akona Safety Tube?
Each unit ships with the Akona Safety Tube and a nylon storage and carry bag with an easy attachable snap clip. A light is not included; for night signaling you pair the tube with an AKONA dive light. No tools, cylinders or inflator hoses are needed since the tube is inflated by mouthpiece.
