Class Starts at 12 noon\n  \nPADI Delayed Surface Marker Buoy (DSMB) Diver\nMany divers wouldn’t think of diving without carrying a delayed surface marker buoy (DSMB\, and in some locations it’s considered required safety equipment. Knowing how to properly deploy and manage a DSMB are valuable skills learned in this course. \nBoats and currents are two common factors associated with many dive sites. Boaters don’t always recognize that divers are in the area and current can carry you further than expected. Launching a delayed surface marker buoy (DSMB) before you surface can alert others to your location in advance of your ascent. Adding another layer of safety\, you can also use the DSMB line to complete your safety stop\, which is advantageous in a current or when there are no other visual references. Take this course to learn about all the beneficial uses of a DSMB. \n  \nWhat You Will Learn\nMarker buoys serve a range of purposes and you’ll learn about common types of DSMB along with the reels used to control them. During the two training dives\, you’ll practice: \n\nPreparing and stowing your DSMB and reel.\nDeploying the DSMB from a stationary position and from mid-water.\nSwimming while towing a DSMB and managing the reel and line.\nMaking a safety stop using the DSMB line.\n\nWhat is included: \n\nKnowledge Review/Classroom Session with your Instructor\nTwo Training Dives with one of our Instructors\nCertification Processing Fee\nYour Certification eCard\nLots of Fun\n\nCost of Specialty Certification :\n– Tuition $169 \n  \n\nIf you have any issues with our Paypal reservation system below \, you can also \nRegister by  Clicking  Here. \n\n  URL:https://carolinadivecenter.com/event/padi-dsmb-friday-june-26th-2/ LOCATION:Fantasy Lake Scuba Park\, 3601 Quarry Rd\, Wake Forest\, NC\, 27587\, United States CATEGORIES:Classes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://carolinadivecenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/delayed-surface-marker-buoy-dsmb-diver-scaled.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260620 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260621 DTSTAMP:20260621T180432Z CREATED:20260329T114847Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260621T180432Z UID:10000453-1781913600-1781999999@carolinadivecenter.com SUMMARY:Fun Dive Day At Fantasy Lake Scuba Park - June 20th DESCRIPTION:Join Carolina Dive Center for a relaxed and enjoyable morning of diving at Fantasy Lake Scuba Park. \nOur Quarry Fun Dive Days are the perfect opportunity to get back in the water\, connect with fellow divers\, and spend time with The Triangle’s 5 Star PADI Dive Center Dive Team.
