I’ve been quite impressed with this Mares Diving Center Pen Flag! It’s easy to set up and takes up very little space in my diving gear. However, a small improvement could be made to the carrying strap for better grip.

Honestly, this ‘Mares’ pen is quite amazing. As a diving enthusiast, I’ve had my fair share of underwater adventures. The pen is waterproof, and it writes smoothly even with full hands. I’ve dropped it a few times, but it still works like new!
Shengli Lim –
What is the lifespan of this pen? Is it really safe to use underwater?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your concerns about the Mares Diving Center Pen Flag. The pen is designed to be compact, durable, and water-resistant, but not necessarily waterproof. While it can be used underwater, it’s essential to note that long-term exposure to water may compromise its lifespan. Generally, a well-maintained and properly cared for pen can last for several years. However, this may vary depending on usage and environmental factors. We recommend regularly cleaning and rinsing the pen with fresh water after each use to prolong its lifespan.
Xuemei Loh –
Overall, the ‘Mares’ pen is a great device, and I’m really enjoying using it. However, I wish it was more ergonomic. Sometimes, my hands get cramped up after prolonged use.
Yuehao Teo –
Is this pen suitable for children to use? What is the recommended age range?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Yuehao! I’m happy to help you determine if our Mares Diving Center Pen Flag is suitable for children. While our pen design is not specifically geared towards young children, it can still be used for kids who show interest in writing. However, please note that the recommended age range for this product is 5 years and above. This is due to some small parts that could be a choking hazard for younger children. If your child is above 5 years old and has shown interest in writing, we’d be happy to have them use the pen!
Zhilun Zhang –
As someone who spends most of their time underwater, the ‘Mares’ pen is an amazing find. The pressure-resistant design is perfect for my needs. However, I wish the colors were more vibrant – they’re a bit dull in my opinion.
