my body and mind merge, taking me to a state of

heightened emotion

“experience the silence exploring your mind”

Freediving brings me inner peace and serenity, exploring the depths takes me away from earthly life.I love Freediving because it trains both the body and the mind. It allows you to explore the ocean floor and yourself in complete freedom.Nothing gives me freedom like Freediving.When I dive, the deep blue which envelopes me, the absolute silence surrounding me and my weightless body make me feel at peace with myself. I have always used Mares equipment as it is comfortable, safe and provides high-performance.

a simply breathtakingexperience

GIANLUCA GENONI - ITALYSSI Freediving International Training DirectorFormer Freediving World Record Holder

When I found freediving, I found my “happy place”. After many years of competing, I now have the opportunity teaching others to pursue their dreams. Freediving truly changed my life because I’m one of those lucky people that can work with what they love.Having proper equipment is crucial as a professional. The new Mares freediving gear fits my purpose perfectly!

LOTTA ERICSON - SWEDENSSI Freediving International Training DirectorFormer Freediving World Record Holder

“diving together into relaxation”

Freediving is incredible in it’s ability to reveal your subconscious mind. In the deep blue of the ocean, with nothing but the sound of ocean life, there is something that you can’t explain. Something that stirs inside you that calls to your inner most self. There are no worries, no problems, no stress... Just you, and your thoughts enjoying the wonder of the ocean!I’ve been diving Mares for years and for good reason! I am terrible at taking care of my gear and the Mares products always stand up to my abuse as well as consistently delivering exceptional performance.

“conquer the boundariesand discover yourself”

RENÉ TROST - SWITZERLANDFreediving International Training Director

“the ocean dwellers: one mind, one life, one breath”

When I’m freediving, Mares is the perfect partner. Technical materials combined with performance products exceed my high expectation of function and execution.With these tools, I feel I have the opportunity to push myself and improve my performance in the water.

“connecting to the ocean”

Every time I enter the water, I am captivated by my surroundings, and the silence is music to my ears.I feel as if I am briefly part of the marine world. I watch and engage with all of the beautiful life below the surface.The new Mares Freediving equipment fully supports my needs in getting to this special place.

if it doesn’t challenge you it doesn’t change you

SURA DAI - CHINAFreediving International Training Director

“connecting to the ocean”

Ludovico Mares, a pioneer in developing products specifically for freediving, founded Mares in 1949.Even today, we are called to carry on the heritage of his passion. Mares is now a worldwide leading brand, with decades of experience designing and producing products at the highest benchmark for competitive levels. With our new Freediving line, we are proud to get back to our roots.
