Description

The Mares Magellan is designed for the travelling diver with an emphasis on weight reduction (it weighs just over 2kg) and improved comfort, but is strong enough for UK diving too.

The Magellan is a BCD with a rear wing style bladder that is kept in check by elasticated straps that draw the bladder inwards as it deflates to stop it from flapping and creating drag when empty.

There is no rigid backplate which allows the BCD to be rolled tightly for travelling. It has got a new-style contoured shoulder strap design that has been developed to increase the comfort over the chest and shoulders, especially for women that find unisex BCDs a bit restrictive.

Feature wise the Magellan is fitted with an integrated weight system with quick release buckles, knife grommet holes on the left side and a roll down pocket on the right side.
