Product Information
The AKONA Surface Marker Buoy w/ 20M Spool Combo is a 6 foot tall surface marker buoy made from Hi-Viz durable 210D nylon, paired with an integrated spool holding 20 m (65 ft) of Hi-Viz orange line. It is a complete signaling and ascent-marking package for recreational and technical divers who need to be seen from the surface, with an open bottom that inflates from a regulator or orally and line-lock chips built directly into the spool.
Who it is for
This combo suits divers who ascend away from the boat or the shore, drift divers, and anyone diving in traffic where boaters need a clear visual reference. Because the buoy and spool ship as one matched system, it is also a straightforward first SMB for divers building out a safety kit, and a practical backup for instructors and guides who deploy a marker on every dive. The buoy stands 6 feet tall with a 12 inch circumference.
Key details
- Height: 6 feet tall, 12 inches in circumference
- Material: Hi-Viz durable 210D nylon
- Line: 20 m (65 ft) of Hi-Viz orange line on the included spool
- Line control: line-lock chips built into the spool for control while securing and launching
- Attachment: spool line attaches to a D-ring inside the pocket
- Inflation: open bottom for regulator or oral inflation

Compatibility and sizing
One size fits all divers, since the buoy is deployed rather than worn. It is offered in three colors: Pink, Yellow, and Orange. The open bottom design lets you inflate from a regulator or orally at the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the line on the Akona SMB spool?
The integrated spool holds 20 m (65 ft) of Hi-Viz orange line. The line attaches to a D-ring inside the buoy pocket, and line-lock chips built into the spool let you control payout while launching.
How do you inflate the Akona surface marker buoy?
The buoy has an open bottom, so you inflate it by directing a burst of air from your regulator second stage into the opening underwater, or by blowing into it orally at the surface. The buoy is inflated through its open bottom, either from a regulator underwater or orally at the surface.
What colors does this Akona SMB and spool combo come in?
This combo is offered in three buoy colors: Pink, Yellow, and Orange, so the choice is about personal preference and team identification.
What makes the line-lock feature useful?
The line-lock chips are built directly into the spool body rather than being a separate add-on accessory. They give you control over the line while securing and launching the buoy, helping prevent accidental unwinding. That matters most during an ascent, when one hand is often busy with your BCD or gauges.
