What if the Mares Diver Marker Buoy – Compact Set was too heavy for smaller divers to carry?
Imran Hanafiah –
We’re glad you thought of this, Zachary! Our Mares Diver Marker Buoy – Compact Set is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it suitable for smaller divers to carry. The buoys weigh approximately 0.2 kg each, which should be manageable for most divers. If you have any concerns about the weight or size, feel free to ask for more information about this product, and we’ll be happy to provide more specifications.

One downside I found is that the attached clip can be a bit flimsy, it comes undone quite easily when handling the buoy aggressively.

The water visibility in Singapore can be quite poor, how visible is this buoy in murky waters?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your interest in the Mares Diver Marker Buoy – Compact Set. The visibility of our buoy in murky waters is designed to be effective, but it may vary depending on the specific water conditions. Our buoy is made with bright orange and yellow colors that can be visible from a distance. However, in extremely poor visibility, it’s possible that the buoy may not be fully visible. We recommend using multiple buoys if you’re diving in heavily polluted waters. We appreciate your feedback and would be happy to answer any further questions you may have.

What I love the most about this product is its compact size which made it so easy to carry around when I went scuba diving, it’s super light and easy to deploy!
Matthew Lee –
I recently purchased the Mares Diver Marker Buoy – Compact Set and I’m not impressed. The material feels cheap and the design is not as compact as I thought it would be. The price is also a bit too high for what you get. I’d say it’s a 3-star product at best.
Ellen Chen –
I’ve been using the Mares Diver Marker Buoy – Compact Set for several dives now and I must say it’s been a game-changer. The compact design makes it perfect for smaller tanks and the bright color helps me stay visible in the water. I’ve even used it to mark my dive location for other divers. One thing I wish it had was a slightly more comfortable grip, but that’s a minor complaint.
