    New Mares SLS BCD

    Hmmm...Overall, I feel it would certainly make a good beginner intro to a more back-oriented BC experience which could provide insight as to whether or not to go full BP/W, remain with a simple BI, or go to a vest (though I do not foresee this latter option being the case). Very good points...

    Changing to imperial measurements on Mares Quad Air dive computer?

    I hear you on the high-vis benefits; the Quad Air caught my eye with the price, transmitter option, and because I had good luck with mares brand in the past. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that the app was a joke and the communications rig was not included (for shame). Also, the light...

    New Mares SLS BCD

    Great, thanks for the heads up and crotch strap recommendation; and so long as the trim pockets are usable (they seem to be almost directly behind the main integrated ones which seems sort of odd to me), then I think this may be a good starter back option for one uncertain they want to take the...

    Mares Hybrid Pure BCD versions

    Thanks for the additional insight! I think for the price it sounds like a rather good option for a newbie that wants to give back inflation a shot. The storage does seem a bit lacking, and I don’t see an octo aleeve or retainer, but overall a good BC from a new outside observer.

    Mares Hybrid Pure BCD versions

    Just wondering since it has been a while if you indeed had the opportunity to give the Pure a try, and if you'd be so kind as to share any thoughts about the experience (i.e., the good and the bad). Considering one and looking for actual in-water reviews has yielded very little in the way of...

    Changing to imperial measurements on Mares Quad Air dive computer?

    It's quite easy really. From start screen, press "up" twice to reach "Set". Press "Enter" on the "Dive" option; press "up" until reaching the screen labeled "Units" (I believe it is five presses). Press "Enter" to start it flashing and choose "Ft/F". Press "Enter" again, which will stop it...

    New Mares SLS BCD

    Phenomenal info; thanks for the info. As to the trim pockets, is there an option to rig them on your kit an customize their location? It looks like there could be room or spaces for this. Also, how does the bladder sit on you position-wise; would you say higher, lower, or middle of the back...

    New Mares SLS BCD

    Wondering if you’d mind sharing your experience to date with the BC? The trim pouches seem to be oddly placed and a bit low, at least as far as I can tell. T/M.
