There's just one problem—other aliens are closer by, and they WILL get the message! Now Jack and the gang have to get to Bob's base so they can use GUNGE's equipment to neutralize the alien threat. First, though, they have to deal with the strange creature that is terrorizing swimmers at the beach. And then they have an even bigger challenge—they have to FIND Bob's base!/DIV/DIV

Custom Divers revolutionary ‘Seeker’ D-SMB gets you picked up quicker

“It can be quite a scary thought (when you are sitting beneath a Delayed Surface Marker Buoy decompressing) wondering if the boat has seen you, or if you are adrift on your lonesomeâ€, stated Alex Vassallo, Custom Divers CEO.  “On a long deco your imagination can play horrible games with you.  I tend to keep mine occupied by thinking of things that will make diving safer, and this was where the Custom Divers Seeker radar detectable D-SMB was conceived.  I wanted to be assured that the boat had seen my D-SMB, so the solution was to make it radar detectable.  Basically, the Seeker is a traditional D-SMB which contains a conductive material shaped to receive and send back radar signals.  It sounds simple but the Seeker took over three years of research, development and testing until we were truly satisfied we had a full patent pending product that will revolutionise diver safety.

During the development phase it was tested every time I went diving, and over a number of months we were getting good results but I felt it was not enough.   I wanted to improve the detectable distance of the Seeker.  With further modifications to the design and materials the Seeker was then re-tested by various Skippers on the English South Coast to verify its performance on their radar, and thanks guys for all your support.  After several evolvements one Skipper phoned to say “this model is brilliantâ€! and so we felt it was appropriate to run broader and more extensive tests and at this stage we involved the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboats Institution) and Her Majesty’s  Coastguard.  I am delighted to confirm that the Seeker D-SMB showed up on boat radars from 1.5 miles away and from 2 miles on helicopters.  The tests were conducted in British seas, over a long period of time in various conditions and included a simulated pitch black/fog search.  The Skipper would navigate purely using the radar (with a watcher looking out of the windscreen to check he didn’t run into anything) and on each occasion the boats/helicopters located the buoy with ease, ending up within a few feet from the Seeker.  From the Skipper/Rescue Services point of view the great thing about the Seeker radar detectable D-SMB is that because it is fully compatible with every radar system there is no need for any additional kit.

For the diver, a key feature of the Seeker is that it has a four-way fill option.  Having seen many a diver forget to fill their D-SMB crack bottle I wanted to come up with a number of filling solutions.  Firstly, it can be easily orally inflated, by blowing into a tube.  Alternatively we have fitted a non-locking nipple fitting to the oral tube that connects to a low pressure inflator hose.  Then there is the system that a number of divers already use, which is cracking a small air cylinder to fill the D-SMB.  (The diver needs to replace the Seeker’s blanking plug with a DIN or A Clamp Pillar Adaptor before an AP Valves 0.1 litre, 232 bar bottle is attached).  Finally, the diver can fill the Seeker D-SMB in the traditional manner by purging a second stage into the bottom of the buoy. 

“So now just knowing that the Skipper can see my blob has given me great peace of mind on long hangsâ€, stated Vassallo, “and it’s great knowing we’ve helped divers improve their safetyâ€.  If you want to be safe in the knowledge your Skipper can easily see your Delayed Surface Marker Buoy, log onto www.customdivers.com for more information and technical specifications on the Seeker radar detectable Delayed Surface Marker Buoy.
