Yeoh Siew Lee –
I just used the Mares Mission 1C Instrument on my last diving trip to Tioman. The pressure gauge is very clear and easy to read, even when visibility was pretty bad. The hose is flexible but feels sturdy, which I appreciate.

Is it possible to add a compass to this console later, or do I need to buy a new one if I want that function?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Mani, yes, the Mares Mission 1C features a modular design, so you can add a compatible compass or depth gauge later without needing a whole new console. Let us know if you’d like advice on expansion options.
Grace Lim –
Been using this for about a year now, mostly in saltwater. Still looks and works like new, very tough. Only wish the numbers were a bit larger for quick glances, but overall very satisfied.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your honest review, Grace. We’re glad the instrument’s durability stands up to regular saltwater use and appreciate your suggestion about the numbering—this helps us in future improvements.
