$32.95Just the Patented Web Deployment system to use with the Tek Marker or your own SMB. The WDS is unique to Surface Marker.
The WDS was designed in order to create a safer and simpler process for deploying a Safety Sausage / Delayed Surface Marker Buoy from your Safety Stop depth at 5m (15ft).
- Unfurls automatically underwater when deployed
- By setting up the WDS in the manner described in the instructions your WDSTM does not need to be unfurled or unrolled before deployment. There are no moving parts or knobs that need to be adjusted before deployment.
- Simply place the Stainless Steel Ring over your thumb on your left hand, ensure that all webbing and webbing loops and the buoy itself are on the outside of your fore arm (away from your body and equipment) and fill with your alternate air source.
- The WDSTM will now unfurl itself as your Surface Marker Buoy makes its way to the surface.
- In the unlikely event that this does unravel as easily as it should, or you have deployed deeper than the operational depth, simply open you thumb and let the highly polished Stainless Steel Ring slip off your thumb.
- Optimized Performance - no air spill
- The WDS TMis weight optimized ensuring that your buoy will not spill air on the way to the surface or on the surface itself. The weight of the Snap Hook and Stainless Steel Rings ensure that all parts of the system are negatively buoyant so that if the WDSTM is completely released (assuming the buoy has been filled with air) the WDSTM will always keep the opening of the buoy underwater ensuring that the buoy does not spill and deflate. The large Stainless Steel Thumb Ring ensures that the whole WDS system is negative and once deployed will not create a free floating entanglement problem quite often faced with cheap string or cord.
- Both the deployment and retrieval of the buoy with the WDS TM is easy and can be simulated on land before the dive in order to ensure mastery of this simple skill
