About the course

The PADI Delayed Surface Marker Buoy (DSMB) Diver course teaches you to use a DSMB safely: the different types, the signals you can send with one, and how to deploy and retrieve it.

Afterwards you can use a DSMB while diving, and signal your dive buddy and the surface support team when you need to ascend.

Prerequisite

You need to be a PADI Open Water Diver aged 12 or over.

Academic

Marker buoys have several uses, and you learn about common types of DSMB along with the reels used to control them. During the two training dives, you practise:

  • Preparing and stowing your DSMB and reel.
  • Deploying the DSMB from a stationary position and from mid-water.
  • Swimming while towing a DSMB and managing the reel and line.
  • Making a safety stop using the DSMB line.

Diving

Two open water dives.
