General recommendations

The 80cm PRO Freediving Buoy is appropriate for comfortable diving for 5 people. The number can differ depending on the size and weight of freedivers, the length of the rope they use, and the amount of additional gear they use during their dive. For safety reasons, remember that one instructor may have a maximum of 4 students during a depth training session.

To safely set up your PRO Freediving Buoy

Before each dive, inspect the buoy, rope, and D-ring for any visual damage.
Insert the buoy-end of the rope into the loop inside of the buoy and insert the other end of the line through the carabiner on the D-ring. If you are using a pulley system (highly recommended), you can hook the pulley system directly to a carabiner on the D-ring.
Attach the bottom weight to the rope with an appropriate knot (e.g., water bowline) or a carabiner.
If you are using a pulley system, skip to step 7. It is highly recommended that the pulley system is attached to the buoy’s D-ring with a carabiner instead of a shorter piece of rope.
Attach the bottom weight under the buoy with a carabiner and/or an appropriate knot.
Attach the dive line with a clove hitch at the target depth.
Take the line out of the float.
Carefully inspect the dive site. If there are divers underwater, wait until they swim away before slowly releasing the line with the bottom weight attached.

Note: If you are not using a pulley system, make sure that the weight does not tangle itself with any part of the line as it is lowered. If the dive line is properly braided, this should not be a problem and you will not need to open the braid before lowering the bottom weight. The sinking bottom weight will open the braid automatically and the descent will be stopped by the clove hitch when the rope is fully unbraided.

The premium buoy with safety, durability, and convenience in mind.

The PRO Freediving Buoy is a premium freediving float made with every type of freediver in mind. Athletes value the spacious interior for up to 100m (328ft) of dive line, the double-chamber construction for safety, and the large surface area for deep dives. Instructors appreciate fitting 4 - 6 people at once on a single buoy and the large, flexible handles for comfortable positioning from anywhere. Traveling freedivers enjoy how easy it is to inflate the buoy by mouth and the large zippered mesh pocket to store their smaller items. And everyone loves the durability and long lifespan of the PRO Freediving Buoy.

Safety in mind
A double-chamber construction with 2 valves ensures slower deflation in case of accidental puncture. Additionally, welded seams give added durability, even in harsher diving environments.

A must for deep diving
This freediving float has the largest surface area out of any of our buoys, creating the most stability in choppy conditions — especially for FIM dives.

Travel-friendly
Easily inflatable by mouth or pump and packs well for every freediving adventure.

Durable
A high-density PVC exterior with anti-corrosion and abrasion-resistant properties is tougher than fabric, keeping its form over time, yet still smooth enough to comfortably rest your face on.

Longer lifespan
A flexible D-ring connection under the buoy lets your carabiner move more freely, protecting it from the typical wear and tear of a fixed connection.

Ample storage space
A large interior can fit up to 100m (328ft) of rope, with a large zippered mesh pocket to secure small items such as water or action cameras.

Comfortable positioning
Six extra-large looping handles are comfortable to hold from anywhere on the freediving float, while also providing flexible anchor points for your surface line.
