Dive Bcd Explorer Black-Green XXXS Mares 417229

Description:

The Mares Explorer BCD is a buoyancy compensator designed specifically for children aged 8 to 12, offering a fit that is better suited to younger divers than traditional adult models. Its shorter backplate helps the jacket sit correctly in the water, supporting comfort and balance during the dive. The BCD features two pockets with VELCRO® Brand closures, providing convenient storage for small essentials. It also includes dedicated housings for the pressure gauge and octopus, helping keep vital equipment properly positioned and easy to access.
For added versatility, the Explorer uses a one-size adjustment system intended to fit children within the recommended age range. The tank strap is shorter than standard, making it suitable even for smaller cylinders. An optional Trim Weight system can be attached to the tank strap, and additional rear weight pockets are available separately for further comfort and fine-tuning. Built with Cordura® 420 and a Monoplate Heavy-Duty Technopolymer backpack, this BCD is made to support young divers with a practical, durable construction. It has a backmounted bladder and an Ergo Inflator for straightforward use in the water.
