Nice, large surface buoy; in this case size definitely matters.
Only a couple minor criticisms:
1) there's no strap to secure it for storage while diving, so I jerry-rigged my own with a clip to hook it to my BC; and
2) the purge valve sits about 18" from the bottom of the buoy. No problem, except when you try to roll it up for your dive - placement in another area (if possible) would certainly have benefited in making it a smaller rolled package.
Other than that, it's a great product.

Need Velcro strap

Good product, but you need to be prepared to keep it in a mesh bag or attach your own strap to keep it secured while not in use.

Comments about OMS Surface Marker Buoy with 30 lb. Lift:

This is the second time I have purchased this product. The first time was about 5 years ago. Basically, I carry it with me on any boat dive I do, and have used it to float anchors, for flotation in case of wing leakage, and to do safety stops on drift dives or when I missed the anchor line. It is a durable product, but after 5 years and probably 200 dives the plastic failed. I define a good product as one I would buy again.

      OMS should have been better

      Pros

      • Lightweight

      Cons

      • Poor Construction
      • Provides No Function

      • All Diving Applications

      Comments about OMS Surface Marker Buoy with 30 lb. Lift:

      After buying several of these bags I can say that I expected a better product. The biggest problem is if you are underwater the air does not go into the bag for inflation. I had to modify each bag cutting a small hole in the inside plastic peace. I went to a different bag in the end.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
