Product Overview
The Mares Smart Wrist Dive Computer is a precision-engineered, watch-style dive instrument designed for divers who demand reliability, clarity, and versatility underwater. Ideal for both recreational and technical diving applications, this compact device combines essential dive metrics with advanced functionality in an ergonomic wrist-mounted form. Whether you’re exploring coral reefs on a leisure dive or managing complex gas mixes during a technical descent, the Smart delivers accurate, real-time data in a user-friendly interface. Its robust construction and intuitive operation make it a trusted companion for divers of all experience levels, from weekend snorkelers to seasoned technical explorers.
Key Features
- Fully Featured Nitrox Capability – Supports dual gas switching with oxygen-enriched mixes up to 99%, allowing divers to optimize decompression schedules and extend bottom time safely. This feature makes it suitable for advanced recreational and technical diving scenarios where gas blending is critical. By enabling seamless transitions between gas mixtures, the computer helps reduce nitrogen absorption and supports safer ascent profiles, especially during deeper or longer dives.
- Clear & Ergonomic Display – Features a high-visibility mineral glass screen with a segmented layout that ensures sharp, legible readings in low-light or high-glare underwater conditions. The display presents essential dive data—including depth, dive time, and temperature—in a logically arranged format for quick reference. The segmented design enhances readability by grouping related information, so divers can assess their status at a glance without misinterpreting critical values.
- Multimode Functionality – Offers multiple operational modes to match different diving styles. Includes a bottom timer with resettable average depth and stopwatch functions for precise dive planning, plus a dedicated freediving mode equipped with customizable alarms to monitor dive intervals and surface times. This flexibility allows the same device to serve as a scuba dive tracker, a freediving training tool, or a snorkeling depth monitor, adapting to your underwater activity with ease.
- User-Friendly Controls & Data Management – Designed with intuitive side-mounted buttons that allow divers to adjust critical settings such as maximum depth, dive time, and temperature readings with minimal effort, even while wearing gloves. The button layout is optimized for underwater use, reducing the risk of accidental inputs while ensuring quick access to essential functions during a dive.
- Data Download & Firmware Upgradability – Enables post-dive analysis and device optimization through logbook data downloads and firmware updates. Users can connect via the Mares Dive Organizer Program and Dive Link 2 USB interface, or utilize the Bluelink Pro for wireless Bluetooth connectivity. This ensures the device stays current with the latest software enhancements, improving performance, adding new features, and maintaining compatibility with evolving dive practices.

Benefits & Use Cases
The Mares Smart Wrist Dive Computer adapts seamlessly to a wide range of underwater activities. Recreational divers benefit from its clear depth and time tracking, enabling safer dive planning and extended exploration within no-decompression limits. The real-time feedback helps prevent accidental depth overruns and supports adherence to dive tables or personal safety margins.
Technical divers appreciate the dual gas capability, which supports complex dive profiles involving multiple gas switches. This is especially valuable during staged decompression dives or when using trimix or enriched air to manage inert gas loading. The ability to program and switch between two gas mixes enhances safety and efficiency during advanced dives.
Freedivers and spearfishers gain from the dedicated freediving mode, complete with interval alarms that help manage breath-hold cycles and surface recovery times. These customizable alerts promote safer training practices by reminding divers of rest periods and dive frequency, reducing the risk of shallow water blackout.
Snorkelers can use it as a basic depth and time monitor, gaining awareness of their underwater exposure without the complexity of full dive computers. Its compact, wrist-mounted design ensures it stays secure and accessible, whether worn over a wetsuit sleeve or integrated into a dive watch setup. The streamlined profile minimizes drag and interference, making it comfortable for extended wear.
Important Notes
Always ensure the device is properly calibrated and updated before technical dives involving mixed gases. Regular firmware updates via Mares software are recommended to maintain optimal performance and access to the latest features. The dive computer is designed for underwater use and should be rinsed with fresh water after each saltwater exposure to preserve longevity. Package includes the dive computer unit; additional accessories such as the Dive Link 2 USB cable or Bluelink Pro may need to be purchased separately for data transfer and wireless connectivity.
