A vertical marker buoy and method for deployment are disclosed herein for enhanced detection of equipment on the water's surface. The equipment may have been previously submerged at a significant depth. The buoy and method provide a faster and more reliable means to locate equipment, e. g., at the sea surface or suspended by a float. The marker buoy has flotation device, a detection indicator and a bail mounted to a tube. The marker buoy is configured to be positioned in a substantially vertical position when the vertical marker buoy is in use on the surface of a body of water. The vertical marker buoy is capable of being deployed at an underwater depth.
