Volo Fin
|
|
|
Among
items Mares showed off at the recent seminar in
Bangkok was the Mares Volo fin. The only fin in
the world to have been awarded 8 patents, Mares
representatives explained scientifically why the
Volo was simply the fastest and most efficient
fin around – up to 30% more efficient than conventional
fins in fact.
MARES were the first manufacturer to use an exclusive apparatus
to perform scientific testing of fin efficiency
and thrust.
|
|
Through this research a very interesting fact arose, the much
vaunted ‘split fin’ technology did not in fact
perform with propeller technology, the fin actually
performed as a exaggerated version of the channel
fin, developed by mares years before.
Also it was found that the improvements given by the split
fin were lost and in fact degraded performance
as thrust was increased. The Volo fin features
a variable angle between the fin and foot pocket,
inserts to maintain the optimal thrust angle and
stabilisers to eliminate ankle torsion as well
as many other features.

The Mares H.U.B
|
|
Diving
freedom revolutionized.
The
new millennium ushers in the age of H.U.B. : the
first and only integrated diving system.
H.U.B. is an integrated control unit that coordinates
the diver's various instruments, formerly scattered
around a diver, by incorporating them into a single
unit. H.U.B. provides maximum freedom of movement,
by eliminating trailing hoses and improving general
comfort. The instruments are all readily at hand,
yet concealable. In addition, H.U.B. is equipped
with Air-Trim, the new unit comprised of two simple
button controls for inflation and deflation.
H.U.B. opens up a new era of diving. No more trailing
hoses, difficulty in achieving correct buoyancy,
lengthy preparation or the risk of forgetting
a SCUBA component at home.

Assembling
the BC on the tank has never been so easy. Airlock
(Mares patent) allows you to fasten the BC to
the air tank without the slightest effort, safely
and easily. Simply pre-tension the tank strap
slightly - an easy maneuver thanks to the new
buckle - and connect the quick coupling BC hose
for a few seconds. The tank strap will be pulled
tight by the air pressure.
A check valve and an automatic mechanical clamping
system ensure a stable and secure connection.

All
the characteristics required by the most demanding
divers, plus much, much more. M1 is the most complete
and easy to use dive computer for both recreational
and technical diving. Also ideal for free diving,
thanks to the “bottom time” mode,
which indicates the dive time in minutes and seconds.
A modern and distinctive look, controlled by just two mechanical
buttons (Mares patent). Powered by two 1.5 Volt
AAA batteries, easily obtainable anywhere in the
world.
The M1 computer is also set up for Nitrox and technical diving,

The
Mares Airtrim System
|
|
|
This
season sees the introduction of the Mares Air-Trim.,
an exclusive Mares patent; the innovative inflator
unit that is always accessible, for controlling
inflation and deflation.
No longer does the scuba diver have to contort his or herself
into strange position to ensure the deflator hose
is uppermost. Now buoyancy control is possible
from any position even standing on ones head.
Airtrim revolutionizes and simplifies the search for optimal
buoyancy underwater.

A simple and ergonomic unit for the inflation and deflation
of the BC. Two oversized buttons, easy to operate
and always at hand, ensure simple and accurate
buoyancy control.
The absence of a corrugated tube makes the BC
more hydrodynamic, enhancing its safety and comfort
underwater.
The “Twin exhaust valve” system ensures quick
air release with one simple maneuver, regardless
of the diver’s position underwater.
The incorporated check valves prevent the entry
of water through the pneumatic valves.
