I have mixed feelings about the Mares Training Buoy. While it’s sturdy and easy to inflate, the rope attachment has come loose after only a few uses. However, the price is reasonable and it’s still a useful product. I guess it’s a good option if you’re looking for a basic training buoy without breaking the bank.

I was able to stay afloat for an extended period of time without getting waterlogged, which was impressive given its compact design. My only gripe is that the strap could have been made slightly longer to accommodate people of varying heights. Nonetheless, it’s a great purchase for anyone interested in serious water training.

I’ve been using the Mares Training Buoy for a few weeks now and it’s been a great addition to my training routine. It’s easy to set up, inflates quickly, and provides a stable buoyancy. However, the rope attachment could be a bit stronger. But overall, it’s a great product and I’d definitely recommend it.

The Mares Training Buoy has been a game-changer for my scuba training. Its stability and buoyancy make it an ideal tool for practicing emergency situations. However, I do feel that the manual could have included more detailed instructions on how to properly secure the strap. Nevertheless, it’s a fantastic product that I would highly recommend.

Would it be suitable for young children?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us, May Siew. I’m happy to help you with your question about the Mares Training Buoy. While the product is designed for general training use, we recommend it for use by individuals aged 8 and above, due to its design and buoyancy characteristics. However, young children under adult supervision could potentially use it in a controlled environment under adult supervision. I would recommend checking with a qualified scuba instructor for further guidance.
