 Waterbuoy

|
Messing about on the water is all well and good, but dropping keys and other valuables in the drink is no laughing matter. Because once they plop below the surface of the big ol' briny, you're scuppered. Or are you? Well no, not if you've attached your bits to the ingenious Waterbuoy.
More than just a keyring
This clever little device contains a high-strength rubber balloon that can lift up to 1Kg and automatically inflates within seconds of hitting the water, causing the whole shebang to rise gently to the surface. And thanks to a high-intensity LED beacon that's visible from over 800 feet at night, you can spot it bobbing about and retrieve your keys/valuables with ease.
How it works...
If you drop your keys in water... |
|
the float reacts and inflates in seconds rising to the surface... |
|
your Waterbuoy will float with an LED light flashing for at least 24 hours! |
Holds up to 1kg of weight
Despite its pocket-friendly size, the Waterbuoy is capable of keeping belongings up to 1kg afloat for 24 hours, so it's ideal for hefty keys, tools, fishing gear, GPS systems, cameras, phones or any other handheld thingamabob you're liable to drop in the sea.
If you're worried the Waterbuoy might inflate when some clumsy landlubber spills their pint on it, worry not. This smart rescue unit is splashproof and its patented internal triggering system only activates when totally submerged. Brilliant!
Visible from over 800 feet at night!
A must for those difficult
sailing situations!
All you sailors, windsurfers and boating buffs could choose to ignore this potentially life-saving gizmo but sending down a team of divers to retrieve your valuables is a bit extravagant, even if you've got a yacht that puts Abramovich's to shame. Indeed, the Waterbuoy is the hottest thing to hit the world of water-based rescue since Pamela Anderson slipped into that red bikini. So get ordering and avoid that sinking feeling forever.

I got this before and I forgot to take it out of my trousers before I put them on the laundry. The Waterbuoy inflated inside and popped.
Steven, Hounslow - Jul '08 |
If you go sailing like I do alot and there is a huge wave that sort of submerses it then will it inflate?
Firebox says: Hi Domingo, the trigger will activate if submerged for a few seconds but it is also splash resistant to accidental activation.
Domingo, Windsor UK - Jul '08 |
What if it rains, will it go off too?
Firebox says: The Waterbuoy will only activate when submersed in liquid.
Kyle, Newcastle - Mar '08 |

Firebox says: Hi James, the Waterbuoy is for one use only.
