I’m still experimenting with the Prestige Plus BCD, but it seems to be a solid choice. The fit is great, and the buoyancy control is smooth. Has anyone else noticed any issues with the tank mounting system?
Junhao Lo –
Hello Kelvin, thank you for sharing your experience with the Mares Prestige MRS Plus BCD. We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying the fit and buoyancy control. However, regarding the tank mounting system, we’ve had some mixed reports. Some customers have mentioned that it can be a bit finicky, especially when adjusting the position of the tank. But, others have had no issues whatsoever. If you’re still experimenting, we recommend giving it a bit more time to get used to it. Is there anything else you’d like to share about your experience, or any further questions you might have?

I’ve tried several BCDs in the past, but the Prestige Plus is by far the most comfortable. However, I do wish it came with a better storage compartment for my gear. Maybe a small upgrade in the future?
