Subject: Re: Mares Tech BCD - comments
I looked at all the locally available BC's before buying the Mares and it is ine
of the best and most comfortable non-DIR's around. Yes it is more comfortable
than a backplate and DIR harness but if youre not going Hogarthian or DIR it's a
fine BC with lots of lift, Dump Valves , Buckles, Straps, weights, pockets ETC.
If you do consider going DIR and youre not cash strapped its a fine rig and
looks it too. If I didnt go DIR and if i didnt also do shallow and vacational
diving it's the only BC I would own. I think it's better than the Poseidon Tech
( a buddy of mine dive's one) and the reason he got his is that the Poseidon is
cheaper and simpler. (Got his after I had the Mare's).

Hope that helps but still suggesting you consider going DIR.

Regards

Renaldo
