Could you get a better pairing than the Apeks SMB and spool bundle?!

It’s amazing how much engineering has gone into the Apeks Lifeline Spools, making them an essential piece of kit for divers. The large finger hole is perfect for thick gloves, and the ergonomic contours fit beautifully in your hand. Plus, the swivel end prevents twisted lines!

Pair that with the Apeks SMB, which can be fully inflated in a single breath. Its revolutionary inflator mouthpiece makes oral inflation in cold water a breeze.

Choose your SMB colour and your spool length and enjoy your next dive!

The Honest Truth

The Apeks SMB and spool are my go-to choice. Deploying my SMB is so easy and I love the negative buoyancy of the finger spools – if I accidentally let go, I know it’s going to come straight back to me!

NOTES FROM APEKS ABOUT THEIR SMB AND SPOOLS

Apeks smb

Make sure you’re seen first time, every time, with the Apeks Surface Marker Buoy. Easily the most feature rich SMB on the market today, a unique fully closed system oral inflator allows the buoy to be fully inflated on a single breath, meaning fast deployment in any situation. Both sides of the SMB have high quality SOLAS reflective tape panels to ensure maximum visibility.

Not only is the Apeks SMB the perfect surface marker buoy, it can also be used as an emergency float. Brass eyelets at the ends of the float allow the diver to fold the unit and secure it into a floating loop using bolt snaps.

 

Apeks lifeline spool

Inspired by technical diving and versatile enough to be used in a range of diving  applications, the Apeks LifeLine spool features easy to grip flared sides and a new rubber outer grip to improve deployment and winding.

It’s made from tough anodised aluminium alloy with high visibility line for low light conditions and with a super tough leader and swivel as standard, the Lifeline comes in four sizes and colours and is complemented by a range of line markers and cookies.

The Apeks LifeLine Spool is available in four sizes –  Purple 15 metres, Green 30 metres, Blue 45 metres and Grey 60 metres
