AP Valves / Buddy SMBCi

Self-sealing Surface Marker Buoy with DIN fitting inflation cylinder post and Easifil Inflator Hose Adaptor (no mini-cylinder)

The APSMBCI/35P DOES NOT include a mini-cylinder. It is inflated by inflator hose via the AP35P Easifil adaptor.

N.B. The AP35P adaptor can be used with any make of inflator hose, not just APV hoses.

The Easifil inflator stem does not have a locking-groove on it. This prevents the hose from becoming attached to the SMB at any point during inflation and so avoids the danger of any sudden increase in buoyancy to the diver. The hose will be connected only as long as it is held in place by the diver as shown.

The SMBCi can also be inflated from a second stage air source via the self-sealing baffle at the bottom. It can be inflated for the duration of the dive or used as a delayed-action deco buoy. A dump/over-pressure valve prevents over inflation and allows deflation after use.

The SMBCi will remain inflated out of water allowing it to be waved by the diver as a signal.

An SMB mini-cylinder can be purchased separately and fitted at a later date if required.
