Guaranteed Safe Checkout
Overview
The Zeagle QD Deluxe Signal Tube is a quick-deploy surface marker buoy (SMB) system designed to improve diver visibility and surface signaling during scuba diving. This compact system combines a highly visible inflatable signal tube, thumb reel, nylon line, brass snap, and mounting pouch for convenient storage and deployment.
Featuring a 7-inch-wide, 60-inch-tall Deluxe Signal Tube, the system can be inflated underwater using a regulator or at the surface through its oral inflation valve. An integrated over-pressure relief valve helps manage expanding air during ascent, while the included 3-inch stainless steel thumb reel with 65 feet of nylon line provides a convenient way to manage the marker during deployment.
