When to Use an SMB?
Surface marker buoys are diverse in their uses. Divers often deploy SMBs to indicate their location underwater. In many cases, deployment occurs during safety stops to give the pick-up team some idea of where the divers will surface. SMBs can also be used when reaching the surface as a location signal, too.
Furthermore, some divers may use surface marker buoys as a distress signal (usually in a specific color as agreed upon with the surface team). This type of signal would be sent up to the surface as an indication that help is needed.
Finally, technical divers may use SMBs to signal the surface team that they need additional tanks during safety stops.
