Your cart is empty.The Cressi Torpedo Pro Buoy is constructed with 210-denier nylon TPU fabric in a hi-visibility orange. It features a reflective strip mounted laterally across the float. The tapered front, or Torpedo shape, of the float helps reduce drag, so it moves through the water more efficiently. The Flag that comes with the buoy is regulation size measuring 12” x 12” with a 3” diagonal white stripe and a stiffener. There is one stainless steel D-ring on the front of the buoy as the main attachment point, and 4 plastic auxiliary D-rings located around the buoy. There is an oral inflator to fill the float. Underneath the buoy there is a weight pouch to help stabilize the float and keep it upright while on the surface. Once inflated the dimensions of the buoy are 39” x 9” x 8”. The Torpedo Pro Buoy Float is designed by Cressi and made in China. Cressi is an Italian brand pioneer in scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming equipment since 1946. The product is covered by a 2-year limited .

This is better than any other ones I’ve seen. The only thing is that you have to add sand or weights to the bottom pouch or it won’t stand upright. Also the flag doesn’t stand square and needs more support than just the one wire.

Works well. Less than a year in and the flag has rolled up though. You’ll need about a two pound weight to keep it upright. It has a pocket for the weight so that was nice and easy.

Would not purchase again. After realizing it wasn't holding air pressure, I was trying to find the source of the leak in the float. After submerging it underwater, i could see dozens of pinhole leaks all over. Never been abused or exposed to sharp objects/reef. D ring on the front is completely rusted, and fabric has faded to a pink'ish hue after a dozen or so uses. The velcro pocket's stitching (for the weight ballast) has failed. Overall lacks quality in nearly every aspect. Look elsewhere.

I bought this primarily as a platform for displaying a flag properly while snorkeling in Florida. I didn't need a float to attach gear or rest on although the float would work well for this obviously. The float itself seems to be made well and is easy to inflate and stays upright only if you add weight to the pocket underneath. I used a 2.5 lb ankle weight which seemed to do the trick. The reason for my low rating is the flag and lack of customer support. The flag is a thin piece of plastic like material that must have some cloth content because it's fraying around the perimeter. Worse than that is that it will not display properly. It curls from the corner without a support wire and grommet. The flag isn't a full 12"x12" size as advertised to begin with and the curl makes it that much smaller. For the quality of the float, the flag should be perhaps two layers sewn around the perimeter with a better mechanism to keep it fully visible. Cressi was not helpful when informed of the problem. I was told their "spearfishing expert" said it would unfurl on its own. It's only become more of a safety concern than before.

I have used this float for several purposes, and it is great for all! It comes with a dive flag which means I can use it when scuba diving over wrecks. It has many clips which means I can connect my speargun to one side and my flashers to the other side! It is super strong as has no problem carrying the weight and strength of a decent size tuna!

Son has been using this the past few years for diving and it’s held up pretty good. The top has faded a little due to sun exposure, but still very visible. Only recommendation is to secure the flag better. I tried gluing it in, but it fell out in the swells. Solution that worked for us is using bright colored shoe laces and securing the flag shaft to three points (think tripod) around the float. Now even in rougher swells, flag stays on.

needs to be weighted underneath, maybe this is normal? thus far it inflates and is visible so it's a good product. the cord attached is obviously just a cheap piece of string, easily tangled and hard to manage. you either have to struggle with it or replace it with something designed for use

As described to the T. Perfect for a travel float!

Very light weight goes inside of my Dive bag amazingly. I like the fact it has extra rings everywhere so I can attached my catch bag (using a cable cuff), and any other things on the side. And it floats great! For sure in the case of an emergency you can hang onto this.I also added a 3lb weight to the underbelly pouch to give stability. In really wavy areas. And planning on actually attaching a longer pole w/ larger flag. The current setup is legal and visible, I’ll just like a larger one.
