Expert Insight

The Akona AKT115 adds a useful nighttime visibility feature to a traditional 6-foot surface marker buoy. The bright orange fabric provides daytime visibility, while the replaceable LED light strip helps the buoy remain easier to identify during night and low-visibility dives. Just remember that two AAA batteries are required and are not included.
