At Dive Rutland, we see reels, Surface Marker Buoys (SMBs) and buoys as core safety equipment, not optional extras. They play a vital role in diver awareness, navigation and surface communication, whether you’re shore diving inland sites, drifting from a boat, or completing decompression stops.
Our collection has been carefully chosen by divers who actively use this equipment themselves. From compact finger reels and robust primary reels to high-visibility SMBs and marker buoys, every product we stock is selected for reliability, ease of deployment and real-world performance.
Reels are essential for controlled SMB deployment, wreck and line work, and maintaining reference points underwater. SMBs allow you to clearly signal your position to surface cover, improving safety in busy or low-visibility conditions. Marker buoys provide clear location marking for entry points, shot lines or underwater tasks.
Whether you’re progressing through training, diving regularly in UK waters, or expanding into more advanced diving, our reels, SMBs and buoys are trusted tools that support safe, confident diving. If you’re unsure what setup best suits your diving, the Dive Rutland team is always happy to offer practical advice based on how you dive, not just what looks good on paper.
