For the best SCUBA diving experience you need to become one with the water, your equipment should be such a part of you that you don't notice it, just the best and most reliable performance.

Every adventure sport has a technology leader who has the competitive edge in every aspects; superior performance, dedication, commitment and unrivaled excellence.

This is also true for Scuba Diving, from the entry level Sportline snorkeling sets to the very top of the range scuba diving equipment... Mares is that leader.

SCUBA divers from all over the world trust Mares to deliver the ultimate in performance, because Mares is the ultimate in Scuba Diving Equipment -- I do!

Mares produces some of the world's best regulators, "all metal" technology for superior performance
at all depths and temperatures. All Mares 1st stages have Dynamic Flow Control (DFC), a Mares patent that minimises the intermediate pressure drop during the inhalation phase. Vortex Assisted Design (VAD) in the 2nd stage ensures the easiest breathing possible.

With Mares regulators there is no need for special adjustment knobs to get the air you need.

'Less is More', fewer working parts ensures diver safety because there is less chance for
mechanical failure and less to worry about. Easier breathing reduces air consumption and
with your Mares regulator you can be assured of years of trouble free service.

Mares is the only Scuba manufacturer to research, design, develop and manufacture
the entire range of products themselves, so every Mares product is a true thoroughbred,
born and bred, a fusion of Italian passion, inspiration, technology and design.

Mares is the leader in fin technology, the Volo Power has no less than 8 patents. With 'Channel Thrust Technology' and 'Optimized Pivoting Blade' (OPB) there is no better fin available on the market today. With reduced work effort you will also consume less air. With the patented AirTrim system you have total buoyancy control in your hand, comfortably at your side with very little movement required. Again, by reducing effort underwater you can dramatically improving your air consumption.

The Mares X-Vision is a breakthrough in mask design. With maximum visibility, yet minimal
internal volume, things have never looked so good.

Please note that the range in South Africa is limited.
