DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:Safety Tube, Compact Nylon Carry Bag

Safety tubes are now a requirement for all divers. If you don't dive with a safety tube you need to start now. It makes sense to be safe. The Akona Safety Tube comes in a Hi-Viz yellow for easy identification, can be illuminated at night with the use of a dive light. Safety tube comes in a compact 5.5" x 2.75" (14 x 7 cm) nylon carry bag which keeps your safety tube stored and latched until needed. The attachable locking gate snap clip makes carrying the bag simple and handy.

To inflate, pull out the nipple valve at the bottom of the tube, inflate with air and push nipple back in to close the valve opening. Safety independently inflates to 40" (102 cm) tall with a 7.5" (19 cm) circumference making it easy to see from a distance. The AKONA Safety Tube comes with a 24 month limited warranty.

    I would not waste your time with this safety tube. I tried two different ones and both did not hold air for more than an hour and it is extremely hard to inflate. The only plus was that it is very compact, but I would spend the extra $5 and get one of the other tubes that Leisure Pro sells - the new one I have is so much easier to inflate and durable.

        I have not had to use it & hope not to have to use it, but seems it would clip anywhere... I clipped in the pocket of my BCD along with a whistle & can not even tell it is on me when diving.

          I found this to be inadequate for use in the ocean. It is simply too short to be seen in anything but flat seas.

          Pitiful inflation

                You would drown in flat water trying to inflate, as there is only a small nub of a mouth piece that you have to pull out with your teeth.

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

                  I think this item is a bit overpriced and the advertisement is a bit misleading but I didn't expect a lot from this item.
