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 250m 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 250m 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. Speaking of multi-millionaires, Dragons' Den stars Theo Paphitis and Peter Jones were so impressed by the Waterbuoy they sank thousands into it. And although they're not exactly salty sea dogs, they know a thing or two about sound investments. 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.

My water buoy went off when I was passing my floatation jacket to the shore from a kayak, I think it may have been splashed... or it may have been drizzling in the next town. A tad over sensitive.
Jon Farley, Sunderland - 23rd August 2011

Can you connect this to an iPhone?
Ben, UK - 15th June 2011

Firebox says: You sure can Ben, as it will float with up to 1KG, however the iPhone might not survive the dunking.

Can you use it again?
456, Stratford - 14th April 2011

Firebox says: No, it is one use only.

I scuba Dive and I know that if you take a fully inflated Balloon to 25 Maters and let go of it it will end up twice as big or poped, so won't the same thing happen to this?
Robert Brookes, Horncastle - 4th February 2011

Firebox says: This is not designed for diving, but for getting your things back to the surface as quickly as possible. When it is exposed to water it will start to inflate and rise to the top- this happens quite promptly.

One of the pictures is of an overboard waterproof case but that floats anyway.
Robert Brookes, Horncastle - 4th February 2011

You say that it can hold 1KG. Is that 1KG of weight in the water or out, as water makes things 6 times as light? Thanks.
Richard Trigg, Stourbridge - 1st December 2010

Firebox says: It's the out of water weight!
