One of the cheapest dive computers of 2023, the Mares Puck Pro is also one of the largest and easiest to use; thanks to it’s massive screen, limited features and simple, one-button user interface.
It’s a durable and reliable bit of kit – it even has a couple of calibrations that other, similarly priced dive-computers lack – such as a freshwater feature and mixed gas mode for tech divers.
On top of that, it also has a massive battery life of 400 hours and to make things even easier, the lithium battery is user-replaceable which saves time and postage money!
The Puck Pro was created by Mares: an Italian based, leading manufacturer of diving equipment who’ve been around since 1949 and are renowned for creating high quality yet affordable dive gear.
Admittedly, there’s a few areas this dive computer could be improved; for example it’s dive log is tiny at just 36 hours long.
Furthermore, it lacks some features seen in more expensive dive computers like air integration or a compass. Also, like most cheap dive computers it’s too bulky to use as a wristwatch.
In this review, we’ll breakdown the Mares Puck Pro’s features; we’ll highlight it’s pros and expose the cons and also compare it to similar dive computers. Let’s dive in!
