Presssure tested and rated to 100m the device has been specifically designed to aid the location and rescue of sport, technical and commercial and military divers. The Sea Marshall PLB8 LD features manual activation and the units loop antenna is made from an electro luminescent flashing filament enclosed in a silicone tube which aids visual location in poor visibility.
