Short answer: The OMS Safety Box is a compact safety set for divers, consisting of a safety box, an orange signal buoy, a spool, and a stainless steel double-ender. The set is available in two sizes – with a 1-meter or a 1.8-meter buoy – and offers reliable protection on every dive.
Safety is as essential to diving equipment as the regulator or wing systems. Those who venture underwater rely not only on their own skills but also on the right equipment. The OMS Safety Box was developed precisely for this purpose: as a reliable, compact, and well-designed safety tool that protects divers of all experience levels.
In this article, we'll introduce you to the OMS Safety Box in detail, explain the differences between the two available sizes, and show you why this set is one of the smartest investments you can make as a diver. We also have a special offer for you – because your safety is our priority.
What is the OMS Safety Box – and what's inside?
The OMS Safety Box is a complete safety kit specifically designed for divers. Everything you need for a safe return to the surface is contained in a compact, grey box. The contents impress with their quality and functionality.
Signal buoy (DSMB) in bright orange – for maximum visibility on the surface
Spool – for controlled unrolling of the buoy line during ascent
Stainless steel double-ended cylinder – robust, corrosion-resistant and easy to use
Each of these components fulfills an important function. The signal buoy marks your position on the water's surface – an essential signal for boats and accompanying personnel.
The spool allows for orderly and safe handling of the line without tangling. And the stainless steel double-ender securely and reliably connects the spool and buoy.
In short: The OMS Safety Box includes everything you need – thoughtfully packaged in a clear and concise set.
Which size is right for me? 1-meter buoy vs. 1.8-meter buoy
The OMS Safety Box is available in two versions – both with a bright orange signal buoy that guarantees optimal visibility. The key difference lies in the size of the buoy:
When purchasing, consider whether the signal buoy will be used in the open sea with higher waves or in a lake with lower waves.
OMS Safety Box with 1 meter buoy
The more compact version is ideal for divers who value space-saving equipment. The 1-meter buoy is easy to stow and is particularly well-suited for dives in calmer waters or under moderate conditions. For recreational divers who regularly dive to manageable depths, this size is an excellent choice.
OMS Safety Box with 1.8 meter buoy
Those diving in rougher waters or open water will benefit from the larger 1.8-meter version. The increased visibility at the surface is a crucial safety advantage in poor visibility conditions or heavy boat traffic. We also recommend this size for experienced divers, technical divers, or anyone who wants to play it safe.
Our recommendation: If you're unsure which size is right for you, choose the 1.8-meter buoy. Greater visibility means greater safety – and that's always the right decision when diving.
