Mares Matrix Wrist Computer

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Mares, is taking another step into the future with the new Matrix Dive Computer. A full-dot matrix high resolution display, tilt- compensated digital compass with bearing function, graphic profile during the dive and multi-gas algorithm make Matrix arguably the most impressive Mares watch-style dive computer ever. A choice of digital or analog time of day display, second time zone and a precision stopwatch, all in a sleek metal housing make it the coolest product to show off with in between dives. Did we mention a 35-hour logbook including dive profile graphs at 5 second sampling rate. The rechargeable battery means years and years of maintenance free use. The charging cradle doubles up as PC (or Mac) interface for downloading dives and for firmware upgrades.

The Matrix has a gas switching function. This function allows divers to use up to three different gas mixtures during a single dive. The computer calculates the decompression schedule accordingly, so that you can take full advantage of decompressing with high oxygen concentration mixes. Smart, intuitive and easy to use, the dive computer software is upgradeable. As Mares continues to introduce new features and functions to its computers, you can benefit from these improvements without needing to buy a new product: simply download the new software release from the Mares website and install it into your existing computer using the dedicated interface.

Computer can be set for use in either fresh or salt water for more accurate calculations. Matrix has audible alarms that can be set for imperial or metric measurements, stopwatch function, daily alarms, a dive plan mode, and ascent rate indicators both graphic and digital.

Mares Razor Carbon Spearfishing Full Foot Fins, Black

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

The fruit of many years of experience and research in the field of composite fins, the Razor Carbon is the result of the latest innovations in technology. Differently from traditional manufacture in autoclaves, the procedure used in the Razor Carbon allows full control over the blade manufacturing process and consistent quality for absolute reliability. The special design of the blade, the lateral stringers on the foot pocket, and the over-molded reinforcements areincredibly efficient at channeling the flow of water. The ample 22° angle of theblade to the foot pocket allows the fin to become a natural extension of the leg, making finning easier. The extreme lightness of the fin and the proportionsof the blade increase efficiency and allow an almost effortless finning. Razor Carbon can be used in so many ways and its exceptional yield, both on the surface and at depth, will satisfy the most demanding freedivers and spearfishermen

Mares Hybrid Pro Tec BC

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

The Mares Hybrid Pro Tec is a giant step in the evolution of back mounted BCDs. The first thing you will notice when donning Hybrid Pro Tec is the perfect fit. This new level of comfort is achieved via special shoulder pads which are longer, pre-shaped and reinforced, and which work in perfect unison with the lumbar suspension system. This suspension system is inspired by the design of modern hiking backpacks; the system avoids direct contact between the body and the tank support. Hybrid Pro Tec features 10 stainless steel D-rings, 3 of which can be slid up and down along the shoulder pads, to accommodate any configuration needs. Made of very tough Alutex material, it will endure any exposure you submit it to and hold up to the test of time.

Furthermore, Hybrid Pro Tec is a modular BCD: the detachable vest comprising the MRS plus system is removable, leaving a lean-and-mean travel BCD. The Hybrid Pro Tec maximizes the blend of comfort, lightness and size. Thanks to the grip provided by the rubber in contact with the tank, when open it ensures total stability and comfort of a long backpack, but when folded it's 30% shorter than a traditional backpack. The honeycomb structure makes it 40% lighter than a traditional backpack. BCD comes standard with 3 Pull-Dump/Overpressure Relief Valves, one is incorporated into the top of the Ergo Inflator; another is located on the right shoulder and a third is located on the rear lower right. Activation of the valves are made easy with both the upper and lower right valves coming with pull cords and the valve incorporated into the Ergo Inflator is activated by an internal cable attached to the inflator mechanism.

The Hybrid Pro Tec BCD has an adjustable sternum strap with quick-release buckle. A Nylon Webbing Cylinder Strap with durable noncorrosive Cam Buckle secures your cylinder to the BCD. This back mount BCD is made of 1,000-Cordura, 420-Cordura and 3D Alutex protection and abrasion-resistant mesh. BCD comes in 4 sizes from X-Small to X-Large with 55 lbs (25 kg) of lift. The Hybrid Pro Tec weighs 9.6 lbs (4.4 kg), comes with a LP hose, Comprehensive Owner's Manual and a 24 month limited warranty.
