Dive Rite Mariner 50 16´´ & Valve Wing

The Mariner 50 wing is specifically designed for back-mounted twinset technical diving.
Its wide, oval profile wraps around the sides of the cylinders, positioning buoyancy higher in the water column.
The result is greater stability and a more balanced feel, even when diving with heavy steel double tanks.
Traditional straight-sided wings allow gas to shift from one end of the wing to the other as the diver changes position.
This movement can alter balance and create a feeling of instability, as if "balancing on a knife´s edge."
Conversely, the Mariner´s curved design keeps most of the gas at the highest point—just forward of the cylinder´s midpoint—regardless of body position.
This allows divers to maintain constant balance without the wing becoming a hindrance.
The Mariner´s central panel has been widened so a standard backplate fits perfectly without the air cell or zipper being pinched against the cylinders.
Two 2.5 cm x 7.6 cm hose grommets are included, offering additional options for hose routing.
The Mariner 50 wing is specifically designed for cylinders 17.8-18.4 cm in diameter.
Its 22.7 kg of lift is ideal for medium-sized steel or aluminum twinsets, as well as additional stage or decompression bottles.
It is made from tough 1680 ballistic nylon, with side panels incorporating SuperFabric® brand technology for increased protection and abrasion resistance in high-wear areas.
It is available with a valve or a c-valve, at the diver´s choice, and with 12, 16, or 22-inch corrugated hoses.
This modular wing pairs perfectly with the TransPac, TransPlate, or any other metal backplate and harness.
Available in black, OD green, blue, and red.
Made in the USA.
