The Fiobuoy is a simple and reliable alternative to:
Acoustic Releases
Compared with the Fiobuoy, traditional acoustic releases present two major disadvantages: they require sacrificial weights and once released they become free floating packages that can be lost in currents and tides. The Fiobuoy, on the other hand remains tethered to both your equipment and anchor. So it will bring everything back and you can be assured your equipment is where you left it.
Acoustic Release & Rope Canister Systems
If you are configuring your own release and rope canister, or using an off-the-shelf system, the Fiobuoy can offer you savings in both time and money. The Fiobuoy is ready for deployment upon delivery and it is tried, tested and proven as both reliable and easy to use. No need for sourcing or fitting separate components followed by trialling and testing. The Fiobuoy was also designed specifically as a complete underwater retrieval system, unlike most releases which have had a rope canister added on. Compared with the Fiobuoy, the rope canister is a much less efficient and reliable method for storing and deploying rope. The Fiobuoy is designed like a spool, the same as how rope manfacturers supply rope - because it is the most efficient and provides the greatest protection against entanglement.

Surface Marker Buoys
Compared with surface marker buoys, Fiobuoys will keep your equipment safe and secure underwater. Whereas surface buoys alert thieves to where your valuable equipment is, and can get cut off by passing vessels, the Fiobuoy keeps everything completely submerged, invisible from the surface.
Divers
Using a diving team is not only an expensive but also a time-consuming method of underwater retrieval. As a complete system, ready for deployment upon delivery, and simple and fast re-deployment, the Fiobuoy is a much more efficient retrieval method.
Simple to operate, fast to deploy and security code protected, it only takes a few simple steps to hide and retrieve your equipment with a Fiobuoy. Learn more about how easy they are to operate or watch a Fiobuoy in action.
