Meet Our Founder
At Bright Buoy, I believe that freediving gear should be as bold, vibrant, and adventurous as the divers who use it.
I started Bright Buoy to break free from the dull and uninspired designs that dominate the diving industry because as a diver myself, I like my gear to make a statement. With everything carefully sourced with durability, style, and visibility in mind, our products bring together practicality and s little something extra to stand out beneath the waves.
At Bright Buoy, we aim to empower divers, especially women, to express their individuality and embrace their inner strength, whether they’re exploring coral reefs, diving with sharks, or simply enjoying the serenity of the ocean depths.
We’re proud to be a women-owned brand based in Hawaii, inspired by the beauty and spirit of the islands we call home. Every product reflects our commitment to quality, creativity, and the vibrant community of freedivers we’re honored to support.
Thank you for being part of our journey!
Bright Buoy Ambassadors
At Bright Buoy Diving, our ambassadors aren’t just athletes—they’re the heart of our brand. Passionate freedivers, spearfishers, and ocean explorers, they embody the fearless spirit and vibrant energy that inspire everything we do.
Each product line is a reflection of the people who bring it to life--bold, dynamic, and deeply connected to the water.
