Dive Rite - Mariner 50 Doubles Wing

The Mariner 50 was purpose-built for technical diving with back-mounted double cylinders. Its wide, oval profile wraps around the sides of the cylinders, positioning lift higher in the water column. The result is improved stability and a more balanced feel, even when diving heavy steel doubles.

Traditional straight-sided wings allow the gas bubble to shift from one end of the wing to the other as the diver moves between head-up and head-down positions. This movement can disrupt trim and create an unstable, “balancing on a knife-edge” feeling. By contrast, the Mariner’s curved design keeps the majority of the gas at the highest point—just forward of the cylinder midpoint—regardless of body position. This allows divers to maintain consistent trim without the wing working against them.

The center panel of the Mariner was widened to allow a standard metal backplate to fit perfectly without pinching the aircell or the zipper against the cylinders. Two 1 inch x 3 inch hose pass through grommets are provided for additional hose routing options.

The Mariner 50 is sized specifically for 7-7.25 inch (17.8-18.4 cm) diameter cylinders. The 50 lbs (22.7 kg) of lift is well suited for mid-sized steel or aluminum doubles and additional stage or deco bottles.

The Mariner is constructed of a durable 1680 ballistic nylon material with SuperFabric® brand technology side panels for added protection and abrasion resistance in high-wear locations. It is available in the diver’s choice of rapid exhaust or elbow, and in 12, 16, or 22 inch corrugated hose lengths with single and dual-bladder options. This modular wing pairs seamlessly with the TransPac, TransPlate, or any other metal backplate and harness. Available in Black, OD Green, Blue, Red, and Pink. Made in the USA.
