Sea Marshall Personal Location Beacon (EPIRB) - Divers Offshore Rescue Equipment

Imagine surfacing from your dive only to discover that the dive boat has left without you or you have drifted out of sight! That is every diver's worst nightmare so protect yourself with the 100m depth rated Oil Filled Sea Marshall® lost Diver ‘SOS’ Alerting Unit (Personal Locator Beacon).

The Sea Marshall PLB8-LD DIVERS' BEACON is worn by an individual when at sea, either on board a vessel/craft or when taking part in sub aqua activities, etc.

In the event of a surfacing diver being lost, the PLB can be activated. It then transmits a signal which can be picked up by an onboard receiver to allow the crew to organise the recovery of the lost diver or if necessary to call upon the Search & Rescue teams to take over the operation.

The SAR organisations can then track the PLB signal on their own equipment. The PLB signal is set to 121.5MHz which is the fixed, agreed international homing frequency. All Search & Rescue vehicles are outfitted with the correct equipment to monitor and track this signal.
