The Mares Hydro Backpack Buoy is a game-changing freediving buoy designed to combine convenience, functionality, and performance for freedivers and spearfishers. This innovative buoy effortlessly transitions from a spacious backpack to a hydrodynamic floating buoy, offering seamless usability from land to sea.
Whether you're carrying gear to your dive site or need a waterproof solution to keep belongings dry, the Hydro Backpack Buoy is your versatile companion. It serves as a transport system, signaling device, swim board, and storage solution in one. Its internal structure ensures the buoy maintains an ideal shape on the water, providing stability and efficiency as a swim platform.
When inflated, it measures 70 x 50 x 30 cm, offering ample storage space, and compacts down to just 20 x 60 x 5 cm when deflated for easy portability. It features a waterproof zip and secure cord loop to keep contents dry, alongside practical extras like a side mesh pocket for bottles, an accessible mesh pocket for fins, six plastic D-rings, and a side D-ring for additional attachments.
Designed for easy handling, the buoy includes upper and lower transport handles, a large 2-way valve for quick inflation/deflation, and four adjustable straps to securely fasten spearguns. Safety is a priority with an integrated whistle, a resizable flagpole, and two included flags (Diving/Alpha) for enhanced visibility and regulatory compliance.
