The Dive360 Take

A tidy front, a cushioned back and sensible places for your kit. The Magellan HD puts its buoyancy behind you, leaving the front less crowded.

The backplate padding is a useful comfort touch, and the removable weight pockets give you options for organising ballast. Five D-rings help keep accessories off the seabed. Your dive kit does not need to impersonate a wind chime.

Mares reference chart, revision G (May 2023). Sizes offered vary by BCD model. Measure with your normal exposure suit.

The serious stuff

Model: 417231. Colour: Black. Sizes supplied: XS, S, M, L, XL.

Back inflation; manufacturer-rated lift: 180 N. Cordura 420 construction and Monoplate backpack.

Standard weight system with removable pockets; integrated removable trim-weight pockets.

Five stainless steel D-rings, knife grommets and a sleeve for the optional Mares Titanium Line Cutter (sold separately).

Why we like it

Back inflation keeps the buoyancy chamber behind you. X-tra cushioning covers the backplate, while rear trim pockets give you another place to position ballast.

A roll-down zipped pocket stores smaller items, and dedicated octopus retainers help tidy the front.

Who we recommend it to

Recreational scuba divers who want back inflation with the convenience of integrated weights and a padded harness.

Choose it for the layout as much as the looks. If you prefer a jacket-style BCD, compare that design before deciding. Use the size guide with your normal exposure suit.
