Product Information
The Akona Surface Marker Buoy with Lights (part #AKT115) is a 6 foot tall, mouth inflated signal tube built from hi-visibility orange 210D TPU fabric with an integrated replaceable LED light strip, so a diver can be seen on the surface in daylight, at dusk or on night dives. It measures 6 inches in diameter and runs on 2 AAA batteries, which are not included.
Who it is for
This SMB suits recreational, technical and emergency use: divers surfacing away from the boat, drift divers marking their position for the captain, night divers who need to be spotted after dark, and anyone diving in low light or murky conditions. The easy attachable snap clip lets you carry it clipped to a BCD D-ring until you need it, and the lightweight fabric packs down for travel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are batteries included with the Akona SMB with Lights?
No. The Akona SMB with Lights uses 2 AAA batteries and they are not included, so plan to supply your own. AAA cells are easy to find and easy to carry as spares on a dive trip. The LED light strip itself is replaceable, so the lighting portion can be serviced without replacing the entire 6 foot buoy.
How do you inflate this surface marker buoy?
The Akona SMB with Lights is mouth inflated through its mouthpiece. The Akona SMB with Lights is mouth inflated through its mouthpiece, then released so the 6 foot tube stands above the waterline.
How big is the Akona SMB with Lights when deployed?
It stands 6 feet tall with a 6 inch diameter, so the hi-vis orange tube sits well above surface chop while staying compact to carry.
Is this SMB suitable for night diving?
Yes. The integrated LED light strip is the reason this model exists: it illuminates the tube for night dives, dusk exits and low visibility conditions when orange fabric alone is harder to see. The strip is replaceable and powered by 2 AAA batteries. For daytime use the bright hi-visibility orange 210D TPU fabric does the signaling on its own.
