Mares Hydro Backpack Buoy

The Hydro Backpack Buoy is a revolutionary freediving buoy designed for ultimate comfort and functionality for swimmers, seatrekkers, freedivers, and spearfishers.

This hydrodynamic buoy transforms from a spacious backpack into a floating buoy, providing a seamless transition from land to sea. Whether you want to transport your wetsuit and gear to your dive site or need a waterproof solution to keep your belongings dry, the Hydro Backpack Buoy is a versatile companion.

This large backpack buoy is not just a means of transport, but also a signal device, a swim board, and a storage solution all in one. Thanks to a special internal system, it retains its perfect shape on the water and serves as an efficient swim board.

Its size is optimal with 70 x 50 x 30 cm when inflated and 20 x 60 x 5 cm when deflated, making it incredibly handy.

Equipped with a waterproof zipper and a drawstring loop for secure closure, your clothes stay dry and safe. A side mesh pocket for a bottle, a side D-ring, six plastic D-rings for additional attachments, and an easily accessible mesh pocket for fins add even more convenience.

The buoy's design includes top and bottom handles for easy transport, a large two-way valve for quick inflation/deflation, and four adjustable straps to securely attach spearguns, fins, or other gear.

Safety is also ensured: a safety whistle, an adjustable flag mast, and two flags (diving/alpha) provide visibility and compliance with safety regulations.
