Description

All our beacons are NZ Coded and with maximum battery life.
We have fresh stock delivered monthly.

Wherever you are, at sea, on land, the rescueME PLB1 provides the reassurance that global emergency services can be alerted by the press of a button.


The rescueMe PLB1 can be operated with a single hand in even the most challenging situations. A simple spring-loaded flap covers the activation button preventing inadvertent use.

rescueME PLB1 works with the only officially recognised worldwide dedicated search and rescue satellite network (operated by Cospas Sarsat). As this is funded by governments there are NO CHARGES to use this service.

When activated the rescueME PLB1 transmits your position and your ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via satellite link. Rescue services nearest to you are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location to assist prompt rescue.

The rescueME PLB1 is provided with a flotation pouch to fit the PLB1 into to enable it to float. Please note that the PLB1 will not float in an operating position in the pouch. Please ensure the PLB1 is firmly attached to the pouch with the provided lanyard, using suitable self-locking knots.

Small and light

Small and light with a good battery life. Needs to be in its case to float so probably not the option if primarily using for water sports. Really happy with it.

As with other reviews no idea of how it’s actual function goes and hope to not find out, but no reason to think it won’t work well.

PLB - review after use

My husband had to activate his PLB recently on a

peak near Mount Cook at 2000m elevation. He was in a helicopter within 2 hours of activation (I imagine this varies depending on location/terrain)

I was on the receiving end of the search and rescue contact. The communication and updates from the rescue team to myself were absolutely faultless and for what could have been a terribly stressful situation, they made it go as smoothly as it could. They received an accurate enough location from the PLB to pinpoint his location, which was then confirmed with me over the phone. This also highlights the importance of having an emergency contact that has information on your trip and movements. This is incredibly helpful to the rescue team to confirm details

Could not put a cost on the importance of these devices!

Very compact

I haven’t needed to use it and hope I never do but this is a very compact and reasonably priced insurance policy.

What sort of title? War and Peace, maybe?

Hard to tell completely until it needs to be used, and with luck, I'll never know.

Tough to review really.

I never want to have to use the thing.

Which makes for a really tough review.

Yep, it's small, lightweight, and seems to test ok but how do you know it really works until you have to use it in an emergency?
