The device includes a lifejacket configured for being worn by a user to promote buoyancy in water. A tether is coupled to the lifejacket. The tether has a distal end with respect to the lifejacket. A balloon is coupled to the distal end of the tether. A gas storage tank is coupled to the lifejacket. The gas storage tank contains compressed lighter-than-air gas. The gas storage device is fluidly coupled to the balloon for injecting the balloon with the gas. The balloon extends above the lifejacket when the balloon is inflated with the gas to indicate a location of the lifejacket.
