Frequently Asked Questions About Diving Buoys, SMBs & Boards

What is the difference between a buoy, float, and surface marker buoy (SMB)?

Buoys and floats are generally used for surface support and visibility in freediving and spearfishing, while SMBs are safety tools deployed by scuba divers to signal their location to boats during ascents or drift dives.

Do I need a buoy for spearfishing in Canada?

Yes, using a high-visibility float or buoy is essential for spearfishing. It helps signal your presence to nearby boats and provides a place to attach your catch or gear, especially in low-visibility BC waters.

What kind of floatline should I use for my speargun?

Choose a durable, tangle-resistant floatline with the right length for your dive depth. We carry floatlines from Rob Allen, Beuchat, and other top brands that work well in Canadian waters.

Are freediving floats necessary for line diving?

Yes, freediving floats are essential for training and line diving. They provide buoyancy at the surface, hold your lanyard and rope, and offer a safe resting point between dives.

What type of SMB should I use for scuba diving?

We recommend closed-cell or oral-inflation SMBs for recreational divers and deployable lift bags or DSMBs for technical diving. Our Vancouver store staff can help match you with the right model.
