Dive Float Adjustable Buoyancy Floaters Scuba Camera Buoyancy - 114g

Our review of the Dive Float Adjustable Buoyancy Floater (114g) explains why underwater photographers who need predictable neutral buoyancy will want this floater. Tested on compact rigs and YS-style arms, the single strongest reason to buy is its combination of reliable buoyancy and durable construction: the high-density block resists deformation at depth and provides a stable 114g lift that is easy to tune by stacking or removing modules. It is a practical, no-frills solution for divers who need consistent float support without adding bulk or fiddly setup underwater.

Key Features

• Superior Buoyancy: The high-density material delivers a consistent 114g of lift so camera rigs float more neutrally without overcompensation.
• Pressure Resistant: Engineered to withstand up to 5 bars of pressure and keep shape at depths to 40 m, with a specified maximum depth of 50 m for typical recreational diving.
• Durable Finish: A heat-shrinkable film with carbon fiber pattern protects the surface from abrasion and gives the floater a tidy, professional look.
• Adjustable System: The tube design allows simple assembly and disassembly so neutral buoyancy can be tuned by stacking multiple floaters.
• Wide Compatibility: The inner diameter and design accept common YS light arms and ball heads including INON, Sea&Sea, Nauticam, and Ikelite styles for easy integration.
• Secure Fit: Silicon rubber non-slip seats on both sides keep the floater from sliding along arms even when buoyant forces act on the rig.

Who It's For

This floater is aimed at recreational and enthusiast underwater photographers who mount strobes or video lights on YS-style arms and need a modest, consistent buoyant lift. It suits small to medium camera setups where about 114g of positive buoyancy helps achieve neutral balance without bulky pontoons.

Those who require extreme lift, a bespoke shaped buoyancy block, or full technical diving depth ratings should look elsewhere; the design is optimized for arm-mounted rigs and recreational depths rather than heavy-duty industrial use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reliable 114g lift from a high-density block that holds shape under pressure.
• Easy to stack and adjust, so fine-tuning neutral buoyancy is straightforward on the boat or at the water surface.
• Well protected surface film and silicon seats improve durability and prevent slippage.

Cons

• Limited to modest buoyancy per unit, so multiple floaters are needed for heavier camera systems.
