    Safety First: SMBs, Reels & Spools for Every Dive

    A Surface Marker Buoy (SMB), reel, and spool are non-negotiable pieces of safety equipment for any diver. An SMB allows you to mark your position on the surface, making you visible to boat traffic and your dive crew, which is particularly vital in busy waters. Reels and spools are your tools for deploying the SMB from depth or for navigating through wrecks and caves. At Dive Centre Bondi, we offer a selection of high-quality SMBs, reels, and spools to ensure you're always prepared for a safe ascent and a visible presence on the surface.
