What are the different types of materials used in the Mares Compact Buoy’s construction?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about the Mares Compact Buoy. The Mares Compact Buoy is primarily constructed from a durable, yet lightweight material called polypropylene. This material provides excellent resistance to impacts, making it ideal for emergency signaling in water. In addition to polypropylene, the buoy also features a high-visibility color scheme for increased visibility from a distance.

Can the Mares Compact Buoy be used by non-divers or people with limited swimming experience?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us! The Mares Compact Buoy is designed to be a compact and lightweight device for divers to stay afloat in case of an emergency or when tired. While it can be used by non-divers, its primary function is to assist divers in staying afloat. For non-divers or people with limited swimming experience, the buoy may not provide sufficient stability, and we recommend using it under close supervision. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask.
