Amanda Tan –
I used the Aropec SMB with Whistle on my last dive trip and found it really easy to inflate, even with thick gloves on. The whistle was loud enough to get my buddy’s attention in choppy conditions. Very sturdy material too.

Kelvin Lim –
Can the SMB be inflated using a standard BCD inflator hose, or is it only oral inflation?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Kelvin, the Aropec SMB can be inflated using both oral inflation and by connecting it to your alternate air source, including a standard BCD inflator hose. This offers you quick and flexible deployment options depending on your preference.
Priya Menon –
The reflective strip really helped during my night dive, but the SMB did take on a bit of water after repeated use. Otherwise, it is lightweight and easy to pack.
