Apeks SMB & Lifeline Halo Spool

£200.00 B Eco-Rating

Sometimes a new product comes along and slaps us in the face… why did it take so long to think of this design?!

The Apeks Lifeline Halo spool looks odd but that huge hole in the middle makes it unbelievably easy to use – especially if you have smaller hands or thick gloves.

You don’t need to worry so much about finger placement for smooth SMB deployment, the Halo makes the whole thing a doddle!

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.

The Honest Truth

All my other reels stay in my kit box now – they’re demoted! The Apeks Lifeline Halo spool looks weird, but if you’ve got little hands like me, it’s revolutionary! I can’t comfortably get my thumb and finger round a normal spool which makes launching an SMB a bit clumsy. With the Halo, it’s an absolute doddle. I’ve not dropped it yet!

Notes about the Apeks Halo & SMB bundle

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.

The Apeks Lifeline Halo spool is the latest addition to the Apeks family and is a true innovation in the diving market.

With 30m of line, the large diameter of the Halo fits perfectly in the hand and allows simple, controlled deployment of the SMB, and rapid line retrieval, even when wearing thick gloves.
