Mares, a global leader in scuba diving equipment, has announced the launch of the Sirius L, a new lightweight dive computer designed to deliver powerful performance in a streamlined format. Built for divers of all levels, the Sirius L combines precision, comfort, and essential features in an easy-to-use wristwatch-style design.
The Sirius L is equipped with a clean segment LCD display, offering crystal-clear data at a glance. Divers can switch between multiple dive modes, including Air, Nitrox, Multi-gas Nitrox (up to three gases), Freedive, and Bottom Timer. At its core is the trusted Bühlmann ZH-L16C algorithm with customizable gradient factors, ensuring reliable decompression calculations tailored to individual diver preferences.
One of the most notable additions is Safety Stop+, a brand-new feature Mares is rolling out across its entire dive computer range. Based on research from DAN (Divers Alert Network), Safety Stop+ allows divers to extend their shallow stop until a Gradient Factor (GF) of 70 is reached. While not mandatory, this optional extension has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of decompression sickness. For divers, it’s a simple way to boost post-dive safety while enjoying a few extra minutes at shallower depths.
A small decision that can make a big difference, Safety Stop+ encourages divers to relax, off-gas, and prepare for their next underwater adventure.
The Sirius L also comes with a range of practical extras:
- Two-button intuitive navigation
- Replaceable CR2450 battery (up to 100 dives per cycle)
- Bluetooth connectivity with the Mares and SSI apps for logbook access and firmware updates
- Everyday watch functions including date, alarm, countdown timer, and dual time zones
Engineered for those who want power without the bulk, the Sirius L is set to become a versatile option for both recreational and advanced divers.
