How does this BCD maintain its air supply for such a long dive without any leaks?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for choosing the Mares Prestige SLS BCD! You’re right to question the air supply maintenance during long dives. The Mares Prestige SLS BCD is designed with a sophisticated inflation/deflation system that prevents air leaks. The system consists of a high-flow valve and a quick-release button, which allows for easy inflation and deflation of the BCD. Additionally, the Prestige SLS BCD features a dry valve system, which eliminates the risk of air leaks and makes the system easier to maintain. We’re confident that the Mares Prestige SLS BCD provides a safe and reliable air supply during long dives.
