The following profile icons describe different dive styles, habits<br />
and needs. They will guide you in the following pages of the<br />
catalogue while you choose the Mares products that fit your<br />
diving style best.<br />
FOR DEMANDING DIVERS<br />
Those who dive frequently and in difficult conditions need products<br />
featuring superior quality and consistent performance, time<br />
and time again. Mares has always focused on new technologies<br />
and innovative products that lead to concrete benefits: superior<br />
reliability and performance will be appreciated by the most<br />
experienced demanding divers.<br />
COLD WATER<br />
Designing and engineering products for cold water diving requires<br />
maximum attention to performance, safety and technical details.<br />
Mares creates equipment specific for cold water and ice diving.<br />
Rigorous tests ensure top notch performance keeping you<br />
comfortable, warm and secure. Even the US Navy has conceded<br />
Mares to be the best equipment for extreme conditions.<br />
MAX COMFORT<br />
Comfort is always one of the primary design elements in Mares<br />
equipment. Mares through superior technology continues to<br />
research, innovate and upgrade your level of comfort before and<br />
during your dive. Equipment marked with Max Comfort bring this<br />
quality of comfort to the most up-to-date premier pinnacle.<br />
IDEAL FOR TRAVEL<br />
In today’s world of travel we are strictly confined by airline<br />
weight restrictions, therefore the design of your equipment<br />
needs to encompass elements to be travel friendly. Lightweight,<br />
streamlined, easy to pack and hassle free are just some of the<br />
elements included in the gear marked for travel.<br />
SHE DIVES<br />
This gear line is designed specifically for women in style, cut, and<br />
ergonomics making your dives much more comfortable than in<br />
years past. Careful consideration to detail in functionality and<br />
aesthetic specifically for women make the She Dives collection<br />
the ideal choice for your Scuba and snorkeling needs.<br />

PROFILE ICONS
REGULATORS
R<br />
eliability is on everyone’s mind when choosing an<br />
underwater breathing apparatus. The Mares family<br />
of regulators offers excellent reliability throughout<br />
the entire line, thanks to 59 years of experience in designing<br />
and producing the most innovative and technologically<br />
advanced diving equipment. You will find exclusive patented<br />
features to ensure reliability at depth as well as ease of<br />
breathing. So, what are some other things to consider?<br />
You’ll want to weigh a variety of factors when selecting<br />
a regulator, such as your intended diving environment,<br />
frequency of use, requested comfort, and your price range.<br />
Whichever factors are most important to you will guide your<br />
choice.<br />
Where do you plan to dive the most? Will you be diving in cold<br />
water where a metal second stage is of extra importance?<br />
Maybe you also dream of travelling frequently to warm<br />
and exotic destinations, and wish to keep the weight and<br />
size of the regulator to a minimum. If you think it will be a<br />
combination, the Proton 42 Metal (or the She Dives version)<br />
would be an excellent choice.<br />
How often will you be diving? People who dive very frequently<br />
often choose a regulator with a long-term track record of<br />
maintaining top performance in between scheduled service,<br />
such as the Abyss 22.<br />
Do you experience ‘cotton-mouth’ when diving? If so, be<br />
sure to choose a regulator with an ‘all metal’ second stage<br />
that has a moisturizing effect by collecting condensation<br />
from each exhalation and returning it on your next breath.<br />
Another comfort consideration is the hose positioning. The<br />
22, 32, and 42 first stages all offer optimum, streamlined<br />
hose positioning.<br />
If you want price to be your guide without sacrificing<br />
performance and natural breathing, you can confidently<br />
make a choice of the new Prestige 12, or the revolutionary<br />
Prestige 32 NTT in case you dive in cold water.<br />
On the following page, you will find Icons describing Mares<br />
regulator technology and key features that are most<br />
important for your diving needs. After reading the icon<br />
descriptions you can continue on to the following pages and<br />
find the Mares regulator that fits you best.<br />

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR REGULATOR
TRI-MATERIAL VALVE<br />
Patented technology, conceived and created to<br />
optimize performance, safety, and reliability.<br />
This brass valve is covered with a hard PU then<br />
the head is layered molecularly with a soft PU.<br />
Tri-material (brass, soft polyurethane, and<br />
“heavy duty” polyurethane) reaches a new level<br />
of durability.<br />
ALL METAL TECHNOLOGY<br />
Metal second stages have superior performance<br />
than plastic second stages, especially in cold<br />
water, thanks to the high thermal conductivity<br />
that limits the freezing effect. Additional benefits<br />
are the improved durability, the longer working<br />
life and the less dry mouth breathing.<br />
DFC - DYNAMIC FLOW CONTROL<br />
DFC system minimizes the intermediate pressure<br />
drop during inhalation, making it possible to use a<br />
simpler and more reliable second stage. Any type<br />
of manual adjustment is not necessary, thanks<br />
to the consistency derived from first stages<br />
that guarantees a stable flow of air, even under<br />
extreme conditions.<br />
VAD - VORTEX ASSISTED DESIGN<br />
All Mares second stages offer the unique patented<br />
VAD system. The air bypass tube conveys air to the<br />
mouthpiece creating a swirling vortex with a low<br />
pressure area in center that keeps the diaphragm<br />
down during inhalation, for very sensitive and<br />
easy breathing at all depths.<br />
MESH-GRID<br />
The patented mesh design of the second stage<br />
cover reduces the pressure of water flowing<br />
onto the second stage diaphragm and minimizes<br />
free-flow. Even in strong currents it eliminates<br />
the need for a knob to ‘de-tune’ your air delivery<br />
system to stop free flowing: Advanced technology<br />
through basic physics.<br />
EXTREME COLD WATER<br />
Regulators conceived to guarantee unbeatable<br />
performance and reliability in extremely cold<br />
water, even ice diving: the CWD kit is equipped<br />
on the first stage and the All Metal second stage<br />
is entirely coated with fluoropolymer resin finish,<br />
even on all key components.<br />
NTT - NANO THERMOCONDUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY<br />
A new exclusive patented technopolymer charged,<br />
through nanotechnology, with materials featuring<br />
thermo-conductive properties. Second stages<br />
manufactured in NTT are lightweight in mass like<br />
a plastic housing, while granting performance<br />
similar to metal regulators.<br />
FLUID DYNAMIC DEFLECTOR<br />
This innovative deflector, developed after in-depth<br />
study and tests of fluid dynamics, is engineered to<br />
receive and properly direct the airflow from the<br />
by-pass tube to the mouthpiece. Combined with<br />
the VAD it delivers a very natural and effortless<br />
breathing.<br />
NBS - NATURAL BREATHING SYSTEM<br />
A special corrosion resistant spiral-shaped insert<br />
in the by-pass tube automatically adjusts for<br />
changing demands to airflow making breathing<br />
more natural in any conditions.<br />
INPP 100 MT CERTIFICATION<br />
The Notified Body INPP of Marseilles performs<br />
the strictest tests on regulators to certify they are<br />
compliant with the European Regulation EN250,<br />
granting the best and safest performance with<br />
binary (Heliox) and tertiary (Trimix) mixtures to a<br />
depths of 100 meters.<br />

REGULATORS AND OCTOPUS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
INSTRUMENTS
C<br />
omputers truly revolutionized diving, extending the<br />
bottom time by computing your dive on a real-time<br />
multiple-level basis, so granting more controlled<br />
and safer dives. Computers naturally became the first<br />
instrument choice by almost all divers. Below are some<br />
considerations to support you in choosing the product that<br />
is right for you.<br />
Configurations: wrist units, such as Nemo Wide, Puck or M2,<br />
are good choices if the thought of checking your computer<br />
should be as easy as checking the time of day on your wrist.<br />
If you then want to wear your computer at work or out for<br />
dinner, a stylish watch-computer like Nemo Excel or Nemo<br />
Sport is the right choice. If your style is more oriented to<br />
keeping everything together, the console Mission Puck 2 or<br />
3 is the suggested purchase.<br />
Air-integrated or non air-integrated: both provide you with<br />
the same type of depth and time information. Air-integrated<br />
versions go one step further by giving you a digital readout<br />
of air pressure. Nemo Air constantly calculates also your<br />
air consumption and gives a constant feedback of your<br />
status during the dive.<br />
Mares computers feature high contrast displays for easy<br />
reading. However, if you need more, Nemo Wide and Nemo Air<br />
displays show the clearest digits at the greatest viewing angle.<br />
You may want to easily change the battery yourself with the<br />
use of common batteries you can buy in most stores. In this<br />
case check which computers feature user-replaceablebattery<br />
function.<br />
Mares computers provide specialized program functions<br />
dedicated to the needs of specific divers: Air and Nitrox<br />
functions are the most common. Other divers’ activities,<br />
like free-diving, need specific further data and alarms, and<br />
bottom-time. It can be useful to put your computer into<br />
gauge mode during tech diving.<br />
Furthermore, don’t forget to take into consideration<br />
the capability of downloading your logbooks to your PC<br />
through a dedicated interface: a feature granted by all<br />
Mares computers.<br />
-24 depth<br />
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR INSTRUMENT
RGBM<br />
The Mares-Wienke “Reduced Gradient Bubbles<br />
Model” algorithm is the most evolved algorithm<br />
to date for preventing the formation of microbubbles.<br />
Obtained from a study done by Dr. Bruce<br />
Wienke in the Los Alamos labs on over 10,000<br />
real dives, RGBM algorithm incorporates Deep<br />
Stop function to further increases safety without<br />
compromising dive time.<br />
SPECIAL FUNCTION MODE<br />
Mares computers provide specialized program<br />
functions dedicated for the needs of specific<br />
divers. On the next pages, highlighted “letters”<br />
in this icon indicate that the Mares computer<br />
provides that function.<br />
Air - Nitrox - Free-dive - Bottom-timer<br />
PRECAUTIONARY PROGRAM SETTINGS<br />
Many Mares computers can be individually set<br />
and adjusted to more conservative dive profiles<br />
if needed. When you do multi-level or multiple<br />
dives during a single day, you can choose different<br />
setting levels in order to adjust your computer to<br />
a more conservative dive profile.<br />
EASY ACCESS<br />
The Easy Access push buttons allow the diver<br />
to operate the computer in all conditions, even<br />
when wearing thick gloves. Navigating through<br />
the computer programs is extremely simple and<br />
very intuitive, whether the computer is equipped<br />
with one, two, three or four push buttons.<br />
SUPERIOR DISPLAY READABILITY<br />
In order to offer easy-to-read instruments in every<br />
circumstance, Mares produces wide computer<br />
displays, with intense backlighting and high<br />
contrast displays. Featuring illuminated, oversized<br />
digits. Special attention is paid to maximize the<br />
viewing angle, to eliminate angular distortion and<br />
to always grant the best readability.<br />
POWERFUL BACKLIGHT<br />
Mares computers are well known for having the<br />
strongest backlight illumination displays. This is<br />
only possible thanks to intelligent power supply<br />
management and the use of standard batteries.<br />
The display can be temporarily or permanently<br />
backlit (depending on the model) for better<br />
readability during night dives or dives with limited<br />
visibility.<br />
MINERAL GLASS DISPLAY<br />
Most Mares computers are equipped with<br />
mineral glass displays. This provides superior<br />
scratch resistance, similar to the mineral glass<br />
used by watch manufacturers. The mineral glass<br />
is shock-proof, tempered, and non-reflective<br />
for better readability in all diving conditions and<br />
visibility levels.<br />
USER-REPLACEABLE BATTERIES<br />
Possibility for users to replace dead or weak<br />
batteries whenever and wherever needed.<br />
Standard batteries can be found almost anywhere<br />
around the world. You never need to abort a dive<br />
with a Mares computer because of a dead battery,<br />
and all your information is stored safely.<br />
AIR INTEGRATED<br />
Computerized detection of air pressure gives<br />
back data on remaining bottom time not only<br />
based on depth, but also based on the rate of air<br />
consumption, ultimately giving you more bottom<br />
time and safer control over your dive.<br />
SOFTWARE UPGRADEABILITY<br />
Allows you to upgrade software over the Internet<br />
using the DRAK interface. This feature makes<br />
it possible to download the latest software<br />
developments as Mares creates them, without<br />
the need to buy a new computer unit. Smart, easy<br />
to use and upgradeable - provided first by Mares.<br />

COMPUTERS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
BCs
C<br />
hoosing a BC is simplified by classifying your<br />
options into different categories: jacket style vs.<br />
back inflation, weight integrated vs. non- weight<br />
integrated and type of inflation system. There are also BCs<br />
designed especially for women and some that simplify<br />
travel because of their light weight and ease of packing.<br />
Jacket style aficionados cite the ‘armchair style comfort’<br />
they feel while upright on the surface and appreciate having<br />
more pockets than on a back inflation BC. On the other<br />
side, divers dedicated to back inflation love the freedom<br />
of movement provided by having the air cell completely<br />
behind vs. around their torso.<br />
On top of the two categories above, Mares Dragon family<br />
(Dragon, Dragon AT and Kaila for women) incorporates a<br />
‘dragon’ air cell that inflates partly in the rear for freedom<br />
of movement, yet retains the comfort of jacket-style on the<br />
surface.<br />
Nearly all modern BCs are weight-integrated, eliminating<br />
the need for a separate weight belt. Weight release pockets<br />
such as the Mares MRS Plus system are versatile because<br />
they can be used with either hard or soft weights. Even<br />
better, they are released with a simple, single motion.<br />
Instead of the traditional ‘Ergo’ inflator, some Mares<br />
models (Dragon AT, Vector 1000 AT and Origin Sport AT)<br />
feature the unique and patented Airtrim system. Airtrim<br />
simplifies buoyancy control, releases air from any position,<br />
and streamlines the diver by eliminating the existing LP<br />
inflators.<br />
Some BC models are designed specifically for women.<br />
The Mares She Dives line includes the Kaila and Aliikai<br />
BCs, actually designed by women divers: special cuts and<br />
adjustability accommodate a woman’s figure along with<br />
plush linings for comfort.<br />
Those who travel can benefit from the unique ‘Quick-Pak’<br />
system of Icon and Aliikai, that make the BC as easy to<br />
transport as luggage, even as a carry-on during flight.<br />
Another choice is the new lightweight and streamlined<br />
Pegasus.<br />
On the next page you’ll find the icons describing Mares BCs<br />
technologies and key features. Take them in consideration<br />
while choosing your Mares BC.<br />
-38 depth<br />
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR BC
AIRTRIM<br />
The first and only pneumatic system (patented)<br />
that revolutionizes and simplifies buoyancy<br />
control during the dive, making it easy to operate,<br />
precise and immediate in any position and<br />
under any condition. Always at hand, Airtrim<br />
simultaneously operates two exhaust pneumatic<br />
valves that minimize the entry of water.<br />
HIGH LIFT<br />
This design characteristic means high lift capacity<br />
across all sizes compared to traditional bladder<br />
constructions. Demanding and technical divers<br />
are supported even when loaded by the weight<br />
of heavy tanks and many accessories. High lift is<br />
also ideal for recreational divers who don’t like<br />
compromises and limitations for their activity.<br />
BACKMOUNTED<br />
The inflation bladder is 100% in the rear of the BC<br />
enabling high lift capacity, reducing bulk in the<br />
front area for an unrestricted feel and maximum<br />
freedom of movement. Mares backmounted BCs<br />
are fully equipped and designed to support a<br />
comfortable position on the surface.<br />
BPS PLUS<br />
The Back Protection System Plus is a patented<br />
dual position lumbar backpack. Heavily padded<br />
in either position, you can double the padding for<br />
increased lumbar support or extend the length of<br />
the padding depending on body shape for ultimate<br />
dive and pre-dive comfort.<br />
TRIM WEIGHT<br />
This compartment is for using fixed weights to<br />
provide balance. Rear non-releasable weights<br />
holding 2,5kg/5.5lbs per pocket, secured with<br />
quick release buckles.<br />
MRS PLUS<br />
Optimal ballast with a mechanical release system.<br />
A simple click ensures easy and secure storage of<br />
the weight pockets. A single outward pull on the<br />
oversized handle releases your weights. Maximum<br />
load 6kg/13lbs. Velcro interior for dividing the<br />
pocket into multiple sections (M, L, XL).<br />
MOVEABLE D-RINGS<br />
Easy to open Fastex D-ring allows you to change<br />
shoulder strap position to further customize the<br />
length of your BC. Consequently, one BC can fit<br />
more sizes and body shapes. Moveable D-rings<br />
are ideal for easily locating and securely attaching<br />
accessories.<br />
ADJUSTABLE CHEST STRAP<br />
Chest strap adjusts both vertically and<br />
horizontally depending on torso length, body<br />
shape or drysuit valve positioning. Extends more<br />
versatility in the adjustment of the BC in order to<br />
fit your configuration best, therefore granting the<br />
most comfort.<br />
KNIFE GROMMETS<br />
Grommets for easily attaching the Mares Force<br />
knife collection. The grommets are located in the<br />
most convenient area of the BC, so your knife is<br />
always accessible when you need it.<br />
QUICK-PAK SYSTEM<br />
Innovation in compacting and transporting the BC.<br />
With a few quick moves, you can compact your BC<br />
to its minimum dimensions (45x30x30cm). Once<br />
closed, the BC will be better protected and can be<br />
easily stored in a closet or transported in a small<br />
travel backpack.<br />
BCs TECHNICAL ICONS<br />
depth -39
T<br />
he goal of Airtrim when introduced back in<br />
1999 was to offer the diver the most technicallyadvanced<br />
system possible for precise, immediate<br />
buoyancy control in any position, while also eliminating all<br />
the constraints imposed by existing LP inflators.<br />
The first and only<br />
pneumatic system for<br />
fast, precise monitoring of<br />
buoyancy in any position.<br />
Easy to use. An intuitive and<br />
ergonomic control, it’s always<br />
within reach and discharges<br />
simultaneously from both valves.<br />
It’s the most reliable, with<br />
consistent performance over<br />
time that is simply unbeatable.<br />
The Airtrim buoyancy control features two oversized<br />
buttons for inflation and deflation that are easy to operate<br />
and always at hand in the same convenient position.<br />
They are very intuitive to use: the upper button controls<br />
inflation (up). The lower button operates the two pneumatic<br />
exhaust valves (down), which deflate simultaneously and<br />
are located on the top and bottom part of the buoyancy<br />
bag. This patented “Twin Exhaust Valve” system always<br />
deflates the BC with one quick, intuitive maneuver,<br />
regardless of the diver’s position underwater.<br />
What’s more, the pneumatic exhaust valves have an<br />
integrated check valve that virtually eliminates water<br />
seepage.<br />
The LP hose is protected and the corrugated hose has<br />
been eliminated, along with the corresponding risks of<br />
entanglement. The BC is also less subject to drag and is<br />
more streamlined which helps reduce fatigue and increase<br />
efficiency during the dive. It also makes the BC vest easier<br />
to put on and take off.<br />
The oral inflation tube uses the same standard for all<br />
safety-approved life jackets: simply blow into the tube…<br />
no buttons needed.<br />
The Airtrim system is proven more reliable than traditional<br />
LP inflators with corrugated hoses, even when used in<br />
extreme conditions or after long periods of very intense<br />
use. The lack of cords or mechanical devices makes this<br />
system superior to all past attempts.<br />
Now available at different price points, so anyone can have<br />
an Airtrim!<br />

BCs TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
SUITS
T<br />
he thickness or type of the suit you choose will<br />
depend on the water temperature and the individual,<br />
some people become colder than others, or often<br />
times women will become colder than men. There is no<br />
single piece suit or thickness that can transcend every<br />
water condition.<br />
Mares offers a full line to cover all conditions possible<br />
for your ultimate comfort while diving. For colder waters,<br />
a thicker full wetsuit 5mm and up will provide thermal<br />
insulation and greater body surface coverage. Adding<br />
layers such as a hooded vest or core warmer will further<br />
enhance diving enjoyment when temperatures dip. When<br />
seasons change and temperatures rise you can choose to<br />
eliminate some layers. Warmer waters require less thermal<br />
protection and thinner neoprene material like 3 or 1.5mm<br />
suit. Even in warmer waters 24 °C or 75 °F water being<br />
one of the best conductors of heat, a diver would become<br />
chilled with no exposure suit.<br />
Fit is a key feature when choosing a wetsuit. Choose a suit that<br />
fits snugly with enough flexibility to allow ease of movement<br />
in the water without being restrictive or too tight. The Mares<br />
suit line includes the Trilastic System: a combination of<br />
materials of varying thicknesses for a comfortable fit and<br />
increased durability in all diving conditions.<br />
Another option for exposure protection is to opt for a<br />
Drysuit. Drysuits are ideal in the coldest water or for<br />
people who chill easily by keeping you totally dry. What you<br />
wear underneath is what keeps you warm. Mares thermal<br />
comfort underwear suits come in a variety of thicknesses<br />
for various temperatures to keep you perfectly comfortable<br />
throughout your cold dives or multiple dives.<br />
-56 depth<br />
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SUIT
DYNA WAVE NEOPRENE<br />
Patented, high density neoprene by Mobby’s.<br />
Compression is accomplished during the<br />
manufacturing process as opposed to physically<br />
crushing. Unique is its ability to remain<br />
unchanged under continuous compression/<br />
expansion stresses. Dyna Wave neoprene is 5%<br />
denser, retains flexibility, and provides insulation<br />
equivalent to 7 mm.<br />
CAP SYSTEM<br />
Bio-Ceramic material is infused with inorganic<br />
and oxidized metals which emit FIR rays to warm<br />
the body surface. Aluminum compound laminated<br />
to durable Nylon to create the airtight integrity<br />
of the shell. The use of aluminum assists in<br />
reducing mildew and odors caused by biological<br />
growth while stored.<br />
ADJUSTABLE SUSPENDERS<br />
Help you get a proper fit in your suit during your<br />
dive. In between dives you can comfortably remove<br />
the torso portion leaving your body free to set up<br />
your equipment, and relax without having to remove<br />
your suit entirely until you’re ready to dive.<br />
360° SWIVELING INFLATOR VALVE<br />
Si-Tech valve allowing complete freedom of LP<br />
hose placement. Either from the left or right<br />
position for easy customization. Si-Tech valves<br />
have a renowned reputation of performance<br />
under extreme conditions. An excellent inflator<br />
button gives you precise control of air.<br />
SI-TECH SHOULDER VALVE<br />
Si-Tech valve with the ability to customize the<br />
sensitivity of your air release during your dive. High<br />
performance and completely dry. Precision accuracy<br />
for perfect buoyancy. Advanced technology through<br />
basic physics.<br />
LATEX COLLAR AND WRISTS<br />
Standard on Polarfit (on Icefit this feature is not<br />
available in all countries). Excellent sealing with<br />
customizable cutting rings. Latex seals provide an<br />
extremely close, comfortable water seal. Utilize<br />
talc powder for easy donning, and never loose the<br />
shape due to expansion stresses.<br />
NEOPRENE COLLAR AND WRISTS<br />
Not available on Polarfit. Good sealing along<br />
with insulating properties. Neoprene Collar and<br />
Wrists are more durable with easy maintenance,<br />
eliminating the need for talc powder.<br />
WEBTEX<br />
Intense research and development by Mobby’s<br />
to find materials that help increase warmth has<br />
led to the development of Webtex. This material,<br />
a type of plush, not only retains heat, but actually<br />
conducts more heat during your dive by using<br />
your body’s natural friction inside the suit.<br />
FRONT ZIPPERS<br />
The design of a Front Zip Closure allows for self<br />
entry and greater freedom of movement by not<br />
having a stiff zipper across your back. An external<br />
zipper flap further protects this crucial portion of<br />
your suit.<br />
VULCANIZED BOOTS<br />
Durable, reinforced, vulcanized rubber lined with<br />
neoprene for added comfort, and featuring a<br />
4mm anti-slip sole. Rear heel notch keeps your<br />
fin strap from slipping, allows you to step on the<br />
notch keeping the boot in place while removing<br />
your foot during doffing.<br />

DRYSUITS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
DRYFIRE PLUSH<br />
This special high grade plush does not retain water<br />
and actually wicks water away for increased heat<br />
retention keeping you warmer during your dive.<br />
Additionally Dryfire plush has a quicker drying<br />
capacity which makes it ideal for travel.<br />
METAL & SAPPHFIRE SKIN SEAL<br />
Seals at the neck, wrist, and ankles are lined with<br />
either electric blue Sapphfire Skin lining or Metal<br />
Skin Seal. This skin tight seal creates a close<br />
barrier against your skin minimizing the flow of<br />
water through the suit retaining warmth.<br />
SAPPHFIRE PLUSH<br />
Electric blue plush material increases heat<br />
retention to keep you warm throughout your dive.<br />
Sapphfire plush is very comfortable creating a<br />
soft, cozy material against your skin.<br />
NEOSPAN<br />
New technology in super elastic neoprene<br />
material. Neospan is very soft and flexible, utilizing<br />
an innovative hydro-repellent characteristic to<br />
keep you warm during your dive. It also dries<br />
quickly. The material has a plush like feel for the<br />
most deluxe encounter with your skin.<br />
SUPER ELASTIC NEOPRENE INSERT<br />
Doffing and donning a wetsuit suit is sometimes<br />
difficult. Strategic placement of super elastic<br />
panels enhances wetsuit flexibility in critical<br />
areas and creates a comfortably close fit.<br />
TRICORE<br />
Tricore is a layered material providing a flexible<br />
chest panel for significantly reduced restriction<br />
of breathing. The sandwiched layers permit<br />
the ability to stitch the perimeter for greater<br />
durability. The skin out neoprene is quick drying<br />
keeping you warmer and more comfortable on<br />
the surface.<br />
DOUBLE SEAL SYSTEM<br />
Advanced construction utilizing an internal gasket<br />
seal for the least water movement. The combined<br />
action of the internal neoprene O-ring with the<br />
Skin Seal has created this double barrier called<br />
Double Seal System. Two technologies together<br />
minimizing the water flow thought wrists.<br />
TIZIP<br />
Unique, high strength zipper. The zipper is self<br />
healing, this means that while pulling the zipper<br />
slide closed if a portion of the zip remains open<br />
behind the slide you are able to pull the slide<br />
back over the open area and re-close without<br />
damaging the zip. Rated to 700 mbar.<br />
CUSTOM CLOSURE<br />
New neck closure allows you to easily customize<br />
how tight you want the neck. Velcro neck folds<br />
in on itself when needed to eliminate snagging<br />
of the plush or neoprene. Back zips with skin on<br />
skin zipper seals for superior water seal.<br />
TRILASTIC KNEE PROTECTION<br />
Knee protection made of anti-scratch<br />
polyurethane, not only for a sharp look,<br />
engineered for high strength and protection<br />
without compromising the flexibility. The linear<br />
design moves in line with your body while still<br />
guarding this high wear area.<br />
WETSUITS TECHNICAL ICONS<br />
depth -63
RED: Increased warmth<br />
GREEN: Better protection<br />
BLUE: Greater elasticity<br />
T<br />
rilastic concept born out of intelligence and superior<br />
stylistic technology. This concept offers versatility<br />
in a wide range of environments and transcends<br />
various water temperatures with minimal layering. Too<br />
much material in the wrong places can result in pointless<br />
bulk and unnecessary buoyancy. The notion to minimize the<br />
thicknesses in regions not requiring crucial heat retention<br />
offers yet another benefit of being easier to put on. Thinner,<br />
more flexible neoprene, used appropriately, gives you<br />
more comfort. The materials for this concept have been<br />
overwhelmingly accepted. High tech plush materials<br />
cushion the skin and generate warmth, super sealing<br />
materials and constructions lock in the water that your<br />
body warms. Super elastic placements provide a greater<br />
range of movement. This combination of the best materials<br />
on the market and their arrangement in specific areas<br />
creates a line of intelligent wetsuits: the Mares Trilastic.<br />

FINS
C<br />
omfort, thrust, efficiency and durable construction<br />
are some of the key features all divers are looking<br />
for when it’s time to choose a fin. Mares makes a<br />
wide variety of fins to meet the needs of every diver and<br />
snorkeler. It is important to choose the correct fin to match<br />
your leg strength, and kicking style. Understanding the<br />
different technologies will enable you to make an informed<br />
choice that matches your style. Mares has researched and<br />
has continued to revolutionize the design and manufacturing<br />
of fins to optimize the flow of water off the blade giving you<br />
the maximum amount of thrust with low effort.<br />
The main categories of fins are Full foot, and Open heel.<br />
Full foot fins are great for traveling as they are typically<br />
lighter in weight, less bulky, and often the preferred style<br />
when diving in warm water areas. Open heel requires the<br />
use of a bootie. Mares anatomic open heel foot pocket is<br />
designed to perfectly accommodate dive boots with a sole.<br />
With the straps comfortably tightened, your foot should fit<br />
snugly into the pocket with no gaping around the top of your<br />
foot, and the bottom portion should reach your heel, this<br />
ensures maximum kicking efficiency.<br />
In terms of performance, if you’re more advanced or have<br />
very strong legs, a powerful paddle fin will offer you the<br />
greatest thrust and ability to vary your kicks. Channel Thrust<br />
technology is the best and will optimize the power and<br />
efficiency in every kick, in all conditions. The Superchannel<br />
technology further emphasizes this benefit.<br />
Fins with OPB will provide a comparatively easier kick<br />
without compromising any power: ideal for women, youths,<br />
or anyone that requires an easier kick. To complete all<br />
technology segments we offer split fins utilizing Nature’s<br />
Wing propeller fin technology combined with Mares Hi-tech<br />
ingenuity to provide the easiest flutter kick with good thrust.<br />
-82 depth<br />
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FINS
OPB - OPTIMIZED PIVOTING BLADE<br />
A llows the blade to assume an optimal angle.<br />
Traditional fins produce lower levels of thrust<br />
at different points in the kicking cycle. OPB<br />
produces optimal thrust during every phase of<br />
the cycle, which minimizes fatigue and produces<br />
a fluid movement through the water.<br />
ELASTIC OPB<br />
U tilizing materials and design to obtain the OPB<br />
without apparent hinge points, the Elastic OPB<br />
causes the blade to flex at an optimal angle during<br />
the upward and downward strokes increasing the<br />
efficiency of the divers kicks. All diver’s effort<br />
became a positive thrust.<br />
CHANNEL THRUST<br />
M ares design is inspired by marine mammals.<br />
Channel Thrust technology maximizes the<br />
channeling of water and moves a much greater<br />
amount of water compared to other fins of the<br />
same size. The result is greater thrusting power<br />
with the same amount of effort.<br />
SUPERCHANNEL<br />
L atest development in Channel Thrust is the<br />
Superchannel. The blade is designed with a<br />
large flexible central Superchannel propelling<br />
water-flow more efficiently down the fin blade<br />
instead of letting it spill over the sides for optimal<br />
performance and minimal diver effort.<br />
ABS PLUS BUCKLES<br />
U nique and patented design. It only takes one<br />
quick movement to easily open or close the<br />
buckle, even when wearing thick neoprene<br />
gloves. The double button release prevents the<br />
buckle from accidentally opening. The most user<br />
friendly in the market.<br />
OPEN FOOT POCKET<br />
E rgonomically designed foot pocket delivers<br />
maximum power and evenly distributes pressure<br />
over the foot to minimize fatigue. Interior, features<br />
internal ribbing that improves fit eliminate foot<br />
suction and prevent foot pocket flexing. Transmits<br />
more power to the blade.<br />
WHALE TAIL POWER<br />
U nlike traditional styles that separate materials<br />
at the foot pocket resulting in a break in power<br />
transmission, a continuum of materials from the<br />
blade ensures seamless transmission of power<br />
through the entire kick cycle. From nature, for<br />
divers.<br />
NATURE’S WING<br />
P atented design by Nature’s Wing split fin<br />
technology utilizes shorter kick strokes to activate<br />
the channel effect and move through the water<br />
with reduced effort. Now available with Mares’<br />
half century experience in Fins.<br />
TRI-MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION<br />
T hree different materials are used in the<br />
construction of Mares fins for superior<br />
performance, maximum elasticity, high durability,<br />
and resistance to aging. The result is Pure Power<br />
in all diving conditions.<br />
UPPER & LOWER STABILIZERS<br />
V ertical ribs that anchor the blade through the<br />
kick cycle to eliminate side to side wobbling effect,<br />
keeping your kicks stable and reducing power<br />
loss. Eliminates ankle-twisting phenomena.<br />

MASKS
F<br />
irst and foremost, a mask needs to be comfortable.<br />
Really the true test if a mask fits well for you is to<br />
actually jump in the water with it. However, there are<br />
some tests out of the water that can direct you to a mask<br />
that works for you.<br />
Suction test, on standard silicone masks without the strap<br />
in place ideally you should place the mask on your face,<br />
press, and inhale slightly in order to create a suction. With a<br />
LiquidSkin mask, this test may not be the best indication of<br />
fit because the skirt is so flexible and molds to the contours<br />
of your face. The following checks would be a better<br />
indication of fit on the LiquidSkin.<br />
Next is to check the inside gasket seal, there should be no<br />
visible gaping and ideally the seal should not be too close<br />
to the outside corners of your eyes or crossing over your<br />
eyebrows. The skirt should not go back to your hairline<br />
either. Make sure all hair is moved away from the sealing<br />
area of the skirt as this can cause leaking. Use a mirror to<br />
check.<br />
Once you have the mask in place take a glance around.<br />
Your vision should be good. Sometimes with dual lens<br />
masks, depending on the person’s eye position, the center<br />
divide piece could be obstructing your vision. Or, if it is not<br />
comfortable on the bridge of your nose, you should consider<br />
a single lens mask.<br />
We offer a full range of masks to choose from and all of<br />
our masks are low volume which is ideal because a lower<br />
internal volume reduces the distance between your eyes<br />
and the mask lens, allowing for a wider field of vision,<br />
less distortion, and improved light transmission. Less<br />
bulk means less drag, less area exposed to leaking, ease<br />
of clearing and easier equalization. There are different<br />
levels of low volume on Mares masks, some masks have<br />
lower volumes than others so if you are an avid free diver,<br />
the lowest possible volume may be the best choice. Above<br />
all, comfort is key. Perform the tests above then finally,<br />
Just Add Water.<br />
-98 depth<br />
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR MASK
LIQUIDSKIN<br />
The most important innovation since the<br />
introduction of silicone masks. LiquidSkin the<br />
Bi-silicone exclusive technology. Two different<br />
types of silicone: a firmer portion for support<br />
structure and a softer portion for contact with<br />
your face. 45% softer on skin of unparalleled<br />
comfort. 270% greater elasticity for a perfect fit.<br />
MONOLENS<br />
The ideal choice for who want to have an open<br />
field of vision. The right approach for those who<br />
wants a panoramic view of the oceans.<br />
BI-LENS<br />
Due to their construction bi-lens masks usually<br />
provide less internal volume. They guarantee<br />
great performance and durability. Ideal for divers<br />
that are looking for the possibility to install<br />
corrective lenses.<br />
OPTIONAL OPTICAL LENSES<br />
Mares offers corrective lenses for most models. In<br />
addition to the negative corrective lenses (-1 to -7) ,<br />
some models also have positive (+1,5 to +3). Mares<br />
design makes it quick and easy to install lenses.<br />
ERGO BUCKLES<br />
Mares uses the most innovative buckle design<br />
in the World. These buckles make adjusting the<br />
split strap fast and intuitive. Sturdy yet compact,<br />
they are designed specifically to optimize the<br />
advantage of Mares skirt mounted buckles.<br />
BUCKLES ON SKIRT<br />
By attaching the buckles to the skirt masks have<br />
superior hydrodynamics because the strap fits<br />
closer to the head. In addition the tension exerted<br />
by the strap acts on the skirt and not directly on<br />
the frame reducing the pressure of the frame<br />
against the face.<br />
TRICOMFORT<br />
Tricomfort technology is a softer material<br />
overmolded on the frame in the area of the<br />
forehead and nose. This soft material provides<br />
superior comfort during frequent or long dives.<br />
WIDE FIELD OF VISION<br />
Mares R&D and Design divisions have conducted<br />
numerous computer simulation and complex<br />
studies on the faces shape. The results are masks<br />
which combine great comfort with an incredible<br />
field of vision.<br />
LOW INTERNAL VOLUME<br />
Masks with less internal volume are more<br />
compact to store in the jacket pocket. The<br />
distance between lenses and the eyes is less and<br />
the result is a wider field of vision. For the apneist,<br />
less volume makes easier compensation.<br />
MID SIZE<br />
Mares has dedicated its effort to create a line of<br />
masks in Mid size. Adults with narrow faces and<br />
young divers may find this an ideal choice. Those<br />
divers will discover the pleasure of a perfect fit<br />
within Mares technologies.<br />

THE NEW ERA IN MASK COMFORT<br />
The most important innovation since the introduction of<br />
silicone masks. Bi-Silicone Technology. In all of the current<br />
masks on the market, the skirt is made of rubber, silicone,<br />
or another medium-hard elastomer. All of today’s masks<br />
are a compromise, dictated by the need of the frame<br />
support structure for a relatively hard material in the area<br />
of the lenses to ensure a good seal against the water and<br />
resist deformation. However, the area that rests against<br />
the face must be very soft and elastic for the mask to be<br />
comfortable and better adapt to the various contours of the<br />
face. Until today, manufacturers have been forced to look for<br />
compromise solutions, since the skirt was made of a single<br />
material. Mares Bi-silicone technology LiquidSkin ® greatly<br />
surpasses the current single material skirt technology.<br />
LiquidSkin ® incorporates two different types of silicone into<br />
one molded skirt: A firmer portion for support structure<br />
and a softer portion for contact with your face. The support<br />
structure and the area of the seals are moulded with a<br />
silicone that is 30% harder than the traditional material.<br />
The section that rests on the face is made with silicone that<br />
is 45% softer and 270% more elastic. The extremely soft<br />
silicone portion rests on the face delivering a new level of<br />
comfort. The marks that are typically left on your face after<br />
a dive are mostly eliminated.<br />
The superior elasticity and softness of LiquidSkin ®<br />
allows the mask to fit perfectly on a wider range of faces.<br />
LiquidSkin ® adapts to facial movement and offers a great<br />
seal, virtually eliminating water leakage. Equalization is<br />
easier due to the super soft nose pocket, its like pinching<br />
your own nose. Its light weight and soft adherence to the<br />
face are so gentle that you can forget you’re wearing it.<br />
LiquidSkin ® is the ideal mask for all kinds of diving, from<br />
snorkeling to freediving to scuba, both for recreational and<br />
professional divers.<br />

ACCESSORIES
HEAVY DUTY WHEELS<br />
All Mares bags include rugged and durable<br />
construction wheels. With a diameter of 9 cm and<br />
a with a tire tread 3cm wide, they can maneuver<br />
over streets, through airports and to your dive<br />
with no problem. All Mares bag wheels are<br />
attached with stainless steel screws. This system<br />
makes the wheels much more durable than bags<br />
using rivets<br />
BACKPACK SYSTEM<br />
With little effort a large piece of luggage can be<br />
transformed into a comfortable Backpack. A big<br />
pocket positioned under the bag’s case contains<br />
two big and soft shoulder straps. In a minute your<br />
wheeled bag becomes a backpack. Additionally,<br />
the innovative Mares x-strap System converts the<br />
traditional handles, by attaching to a metal snap<br />
hook, into the shoulder straps of the bag.<br />
TELESCOPIC HANDLE<br />
Mares biggest bags, ideal for long trips, are<br />
furnished with a telescopic handle. Hidden into a<br />
pocket placed on the top of the bag, when needed<br />
the handle can be extended making it very easy to<br />
pull and maneuver the bag, even when filled with<br />
diving equipment.<br />
HARD CASE<br />
The hard case is the ideal solution to store your<br />
valuable diving equipment. Designed and tested<br />
by divers looking for the very best in terms of<br />
capacity and durability, the hard case is separated<br />
into two internal compartments, one for clothing<br />
and one for equipment.<br />
HARD BOTTOM<br />
All the biggest bags of the new Cruise collection,<br />
are reinforced with a hard bottom. The hard<br />
bottom makes the bag more stable and tear<br />
resistant. The storage space is stronger and<br />
offers better protection. The hard bottom makes<br />
the attachment of the wheels and the telescopic<br />
handle much more durable. The result is really a<br />
strong bag.<br />
PROTECTIVE COVER<br />
Keeps your bag clean. A fashionable black cover<br />
with a big Mares logo printed on top will protect<br />
the bag during the longest voyage. The nylon<br />
cover will protect your bag from rain, dust, stains<br />
and scratches. A hole on top of the cover allows<br />
for use of the telescopic handle when covered.<br />
SPIRAL ZIPPERS<br />
All Mares bags come with Spiral Zips. These zips<br />
make it really easy to open and close the pockets<br />
no matter which direction they are facing.<br />
DETACHABLE POCKET<br />
An extremely useful additional bag. A small<br />
beauty case ideal for travel or during a tour. A<br />
mirror is included. The Cruise Roller comes<br />
with a detachable pocket ideal to store the small<br />
things we always want to bring with us even when<br />
we go diving.<br />
HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION<br />
All Cruise bags are reinforced with stainless<br />
steel rivets and screw providing extra durability<br />
and extra protection. Components are heavy<br />
duty stitched and attached with stainless steel<br />
rivets between the hard components (bottom,<br />
case, telescopic handle) and the material, all to<br />
increase durability.<br />
BUSINESS CARE DESIGN<br />
Several bags in the new Cruise collection come<br />
with a business dedicated area. The Cruise<br />
Journey and Cruise Office are reinforced and<br />
padded to properly protect your laptop, Logbook,<br />
MP3, Mobile phone, Agenda, Pens and all your<br />
other business tools.<br />
