Overview The Akona 6 ft Surface Marker Buoy with LED Lights is designed to improve diver visibility during low-visibility conditions and night dives. Standing 6 feet tall with a 6-inch diameter, this high-visibility orange SMB combines a large surface profile with an integrated replaceable LED light strip for added nighttime visibility. Constructed from durable 210D TPU fabric, the AKT115 is orally inflated through its mouthpiece and includes an easy-attach snap clip for securing the buoy to compatible dive equipment or line systems. The LED light strip is powered by two AAA batteries, which are sold separately.
