Purpose of red / white buoy?
I saw a red / white buoy in the water between two islands. Seemed fairly useless, nothing could be opened. Dragging / towing seemed impossible. I was able to climb it, but could not stand on it.

I think they are mainy for asthetic/realism purpose's. dunno maybe the devs will add a purpose to them in the future though.

Currently, I think they are just aesthetic. Buoys like the ones in-game are used to measure changes in weather and oceanic conditions. But it is important to note, that they can only be found, in-game, in deep water biomes.

So as razberrie pointed out, you can expect to find things like great whites and whales close by.

And Marlin. Beware the Marlin.

As I've said in a few other threads, I think buoys would be a smart possibility for obtaining rescue. By moving, damaging, disabling, or otherwise messing with 1 or more, you could attract attention and potentially rescue via whoever comes to investigate.

I find this to be the most realistic method of being rescued available.

True they're only aesthetic now, plus the function of warning about increased chances of great whites nearby, but I'd like to think the devs had other plans in mind. If not my idea, at least salvaging the electronics for use elsewhere.

It would be nice if they lit up at night (or do they already?). Double nice if they make them towable so you can just put one near your island.

You can get in them if you play the with crouch button, I was in one and it was hit by something and I was swaying back a forth for a bit,,damn near went over. Which I've seen a tiger sharks do. Flip them that is.

If you swim all the way beneath it, right to the bottom, and stay there. A famous character shows up and tells you what it is. Don't worry, the zone is protected and you dont need to breath.

IT'S A TRAAAAAAAAAAP!

Is this famous character Jaws?

Then perhaps the squid from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea?
