# What is a safety buoy for?
Using a safety buoy during water activities increases the safety of the wearer and also of other people in the water. The buoy provides you with additional buoyancy when it is needed. If you carry a safety buoy yourself, you can also hand it to someone near you who may be in distress. This will prevent you from putting yourself in danger trying to help someone. You can also use a safety buoy to attract attention by waving it.
