Mares Vector 1000 AT MRS+ bcd
Author:
Gary Steadman
'
ONE OF THE BEST BCD'S IN THE WORLD?
'
Strengths:
Easy to use, great fit for broader frames, big pockets that are easy to access, plenty of rings to hang clips and things on!
Weaknesses:
Heavier than I expected. Expensive, but you can find it reasonably priced if you shop about.
Overall:
I bought this BCD as a replacement for another well known BCD. Primarily because I liked the idea of the Airtrim system and the manual inflator on my previous BCD sent me hurtling to the surface a few times - luckily before I got too deep - it was easy to get mixed up between inflate and deflate! No such issues with the Mares Vector 1000 Airtrim MRS PLUS. Press the inflator button with your thumb and you inflate, press the deflate button with your trigger finger and down it goes. Its very simple to add little bits of air so that you control your buoyancy perfectly. I have now dived in the Maldives, South Africa with Sharks (all negative entry dives), various UK inland sites and recently UK sea dives at Eyemouth and St Abbs. This BCD has been reliable and has to be my favourite scuba purchase. Highly Recommended. I would quite happily give this BCD a near perfect score. If it was a tad lighter then it would score top marks.

Will come back to you for all my future dive gear requirements.Thanks,Stephen
Mr Paul Bowen. p.s. I took delivery from yourselves yesterday of a Pinnacle Arctic ME 7 wet suit. Having trawled the internet for what seemed like an eternity, and after being let down by so many others, you are the only people who could genuinely supply and deliver the goods. The suit arrived in perfect condition and on time. Thank you, the service was excellent. !
Thanks for all your trouble!!! Next stop Thailand!! I am sure I will be in contact with you guys again…. Your gear is a lot better priced than in South Africa – even at R16.00 to the pound!! Regards, Steve Wilson !
