Product Information
The TUSA Rescue Marker (item TA1102) is a 71 x 5 in / 1800 x 135 mm surface marker buoy that inflates with air from your own regulator, so a boat crew or shore team can see that a diver is down and pinpoint exactly where you are at the surface. A check valve holds the air in and an inflator/deflator valve makes it quick to fill and stow again.
Who it is for
TUSA lists the Rescue Marker for all dive levels, which makes it a sensible safety item for any diver. It is useful on boat dives where you surface away from the ladder, on drift dives where the crew needs to track your position, in chop or swell where a diver's head is hard to spot, and during safety stops when you want the surface to know you are coming up. Because it inflates with regulator air, no separate inflation cylinder is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you inflate the TUSA Rescue Marker?
You inflate it with air from your regulator, and a built-in check valve keeps the air from escaping once it is in. An inflator/deflator valve handles both filling and emptying, so you can deflate and roll the marker back up after the dive without tools.

It measures 71 x 5 in, or 1800 x 135 mm, and deflates via the inflator/deflator valve for repacking.
Is the TUSA Rescue Marker suitable for beginner divers?
Yes. TUSA lists the Rescue Marker for all dive levels, so it suits divers of any experience. Because it inflates from regulator air and uses a simple inflator/deflator valve with a check valve, there is no specialized rigging to learn before adding it to your safety kit.
