A vertical, flexible, fiberglass pole extending vertically upward from a mooring buoy, said pole having a resilient line holder attached near to the top of the pole. Reflective tape is applied to the pole. The line holder retains a mooring line, which is secured at one end to a chain anchoring the mooring buoy. In an alternate embodiment, a resilient line holder is attached to a piling by means of a vinyl base. The hook is arranged vertically, but can rotate in a horizontal plane 180 degrees. A label of reflective tape is applied to the vinyl base for increased visibility, even during nighttime. The line holder retains a mooring line, which is secured at one end to a cleat attached to the piling, in a coil until removed when mooring.

An apparatus for the detection of a person afloat in the water includes a garment portion that is worn by the person. The garment portion preferably includes an inflatable vest. An actuation mechanism detects immersion in the water, preferably at a predetermined depth, and then automatically inflates the vest by puncturing or opening a first container and releasing a gas therein. A balloon is also attached to the vest and is also inflated by the gas of the first container providing the gas in the first container is a lighter-than-air type of a gas that is able to cause the balloon to rise in the air. A tether secures the balloon to the vest. If the gas in the first container is not suitable for filling the balloon, a second container is used that contains the desired lighter-than-air gas and it is also either punctured or otherwise opened by the actuation mechanism so as to inflate the balloon. The balloon automatically releases apart from the vest upon inflation and rises the length of the tether above the person. Devices to manually inflate the vest and the balloon are also described.

A glow-in-the-dark rescue line throw-bag having a phosphorescent rope line loosely stored in a receptacle having a transparent sidewall. A first end of the phosphorescent rope line is secured to the receptacle, with the central portion of the phosphorescent rope line stored in the rope storage volume. A second end of the phosphorescent rope line may be grasped by a user at an open end of the receptacle. When the throw-bag is deployed, and upon the phosphorescent rope being substantially charged, a rescuee who has fallen into the water may easily view the glowing rope line through the transparent wall of the receptacle as it is being thrown in the air. In this manner, a rescuee may better sight where the throw-bag has landed in the water.

A BUOY FOR MARKING THE LOCATION OF A SUNKEN CRAFT. THE BUOY CONTAINS LIFESAVING AND SPINALING EQUIPMENT. AN AUTOMATICALLY INFLATABLE RAFT CAN BE REMOVED BY A SURVIVOR AND A BLINKING LIGHT IS TURNED ON DURING THE TWILIGHT AND NIGHTIME TO SIGNAL A RESCUER. A NUMBER OF LIGHT REFLECTING PLATES REFLECT SUNLIGHT DURING THE DAYTIME TO PRODUCE A DAYTIME SIGNALING DEVICE.

A glow in the dark aquatic protective eyewear visible under low light conditions is disclosed. The protective eyewear comprises a body and a securing strap that are photoluminescent giving off visible light once sufficiently charged by a recharging source such as sunlight. The protective eyewear may comprise a swimming goggle or a diving mask with or without a snorkel tube.

An embodiment of a weight system for use with a buoyancy compensator device includes a rigid plate, a weight pouch attached to the rigid plate, and an indicator device fixedly interfaced with the rigid plate. The indicator device further includes a freely moving floatation device that floats within a restrained range upward from the rigid plate in response to the weight pouch being separate from the buoyancy compensator device.

A safety apparatus having a base, a wand coupled to the base, and an illumination source retained by the wand. The base may include a recess to retain the illumination source, or an additional illumination source. The base may also include a port and a hollow interior for selectively filling the interior with ballast for support. The wand may include reflective material along the external circumference for increasing the visibility of the apparatus to on-coming traffic. The apparatus may be used to freely stand on a solid surface, or the base may be evacuated of ballast and used to buoyantly rest on the surface of an aqueous body.

Protective hats having a crown and broad brim provide protection from the sun and by surfaces reflecting light and/or radar waves provide distress signalling means. The hats can be colored international orange for enhancing their usefulness as a distress signal. Due to stiffening means such as a springy hoop of suitable material contained within the peripheral binder of the hat's brim, it can be easily folded into a small package for storage or carrying on the person.
