Does the Mares SMB Training Orange have a built-in weight system to help divers get accurate weight calculations? The 1m length is also quite generous for a training SMB.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review, Ezra! The Mares SMB Training Orange does not have a built-in weight system. However, it does provide a convenient 1-meter length for training purposes, which is great for simulations. While it may be longer than some traditional SMBs, the extra length allows for a more realistic experience. If you have any questions about our SMB or any other product, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
