Full review: Mares Puck Air

The Mares Puck Air is a compact, intuitive dive computer designed for divers who want reliable performance without unnecessary complexity. Built with Mares' trusted algorithm, RGBM (Reduced Gradient Bubble Model), this device tracks nitrogen absorption and release to help divers manage decompression limits safely across recreational depths. Its large, easy-to-read display presents essential data clearly, even in low visibility or murky water, showing depth, dive time, ascent rate, and no-decompression limits at a glance. The wrist-mounted design makes it comfortable to wear throughout a dive, and its straightforward button interface means divers can navigate menus and settings without fumbling, even while wearing thick gloves in colder water conditions.

One of the standout features of the Puck Air is its integration with air pressure monitoring through a wireless transmitter, allowing divers to track their tank pressure directly on the computer's display. This eliminates the need for a separate pressure gauge, streamlining the diver's gear setup and reducing clutter on the console. The device also offers user-selectable options for air, nitrox, or gauge modes, giving flexibility to divers who dive using different breathing gases or those who simply want a bottom timer for technical applications. Battery life is user-replaceable, meaning divers don't need to send the unit back to a service center for a simple battery swap, saving both time and money over the life of the product.

Durability and simplicity are at the core of the Puck Air's design philosophy. Its rugged casing withstands the rigors of repeated dives, boat trips, and travel, while remaining lightweight enough for comfortable everyday wear. The computer logs dive history, allowing users to review past dives, monitor their progress, and plan future excursions with greater confidence. Whether used by a newly certified diver looking for a dependable, no-frills computer or an experienced diver wanting a reliable backup unit, the Mares Puck Air delivers essential functionality wrapped in a straightforward, user-friendly package that fits naturally into the demands of recreational scuba diving.
