pchapman 278 #2 December 18, 2014 Ooh, saying stuff like that will get your post deleted. "Take it to the classifieds". But you might well legitimately ask: Remember those Aqua Buoy floatation devices from the 90s? Does anyone still use them things? Does anyone have a source for them, if one needs a bunch quickly? Has anyone actually used one and had it actually help them avoid drowning, rather than just being a buoy to mark the body? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,486 #3 December 18, 2014 Which one is the "Aqua Bouy"? Is that the "beach ball" one that used to be on student gear? If so, I might have several."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

TitaniumLegs 8 #10 March 10, 2023 LOL this thread popped up in a search. In case anybody ever still reads this stuff: Aquabuoy are garbage and should never have been the device we depended on or allowed as the gadget that got you on loads near/over water. in 1997 I was on a demo jump where 7 people landed in Monterey Bay. I think 4-5 of my wet friends had these things and tried to use them. IIRC, 2 didn't inflate at all. The ones that did, you basically got a yellow inflated potato chip bag tied on by what looked like a piece of dental floss. I'm not sure it would even be effective to help find the body, in spite of the joke/common description of these things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
