Pedagno Kit 11x117 cm DIR Style Metal Valve + Delrin Spool 24 m

This signaling kit combines the renowned DIR Style SMB with a high-strength spool manufactured by the technical diving specialist DTD (Dare To Dive). It is an excellent system for surface marker buoy (SMB) signaling, configured according to the strict standards of the DIR (Doing It Right) philosophy. It is designed to offer maximum reliability, robustness, and visibility when deployed from decompression stops or in emergency situations in open water.

"DIR Style" Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) – 11x117 cm

• Brand and Style: Branded DIR Style, synonymous with minimalism, effectiveness, and the complete absence of unnecessary frills or failure points.
• Dimensions: 11 cm wide and 117 cm long. The narrow, sleek profile ensures excellent vertical stability once inflated and optimal surface visibility even in choppy seas, minimizing the sail effect caused by wind or strong currents.
• Metal Valve: Equipped with an overpressure and dump valve (OPV) with an all-metal body. This component ensures a precise and automatic release of excess air during the buoy's ascent, resists violent impacts, and guarantees a significantly longer lifespan compared to standard plastic valves.
  

Available Colors: 

• Orange: The international standard color for routine signaling and completing regular deco stops.
• Yellow: Conventionally used as an emergency signal or for specific communications with the support boat.
• Pink: A high-visibility color variant, ideal for standing out within the team or in conditions of low-angle sunlight.

DTD Delrin Spool 24 m with Accessories

• Brand and Material: Produced by DTD from high-quality Delrin (POM), CNC machined from solid bar stock. DTD's Delrin ensures extreme structural resistance to impacts, reduced weight in water, and the complete absence of salt corrosion.
• Line Specifications: * Length: 24 meters, an ideal technical length for deep deployments from the first decompression stops.
• Thickness: 2.00 mm, an increased diameter compared to commercial standards, offering superior tensile strength and drastically reducing the risk of annoying tangles or accidental knots.
• Color: White, chosen to ensure clear contrast and optimal visibility even in dark or turbid waters.
• Carabiner Included: Supplied complete with a marine-grade stainless steel double-ender carabiner, essential for locking the line under tension or for attaching the spool to the harness's D-rings when not in use.

Configuration Advantages

1. Ready to Use: The kit is supplied fully assembled by DIR STORE, with the 2mm line already perfectly spooled onto the DTD spool and the stainless steel carabiner included.
2. Pure DIR Philosophy: The absence of complex mechanical parts, cranks, or clutches eliminates the risk of jamming during line deployment on ascent.
3. Hydrodynamic Stowage: The SMB and spool can be stored flat inside a drysuit pocket or attached to the back D-ring of the waist band, keeping the diver's profile extremely clean and hydrodynamic.
