Product FAQs

Ask a Question

I know this BC does not have a crotch strap, but I see that Mares actually sells one that claims it can be used with their back-inflate BCDs. I can see the picture of it, but I am wondering, where do you physically attach both ends of the crotch strap to the Mares Bolt? Is this the best crotch strap to get for this BCD or are there other alternatives that are better or easier to use?

05/21/2025
Answered by Divers Supply 05/26/2025

Yes, a crotch strap can be used with this BCD. There is a slot to weave the crotch strap through underneath the back pad. You would then put the front loop of the crotch strap through the waist belt just to the left or right of the buckle.

I am 6'5, 250 pounds. Will any size fit me? If not what BCD would you recommend?

04/03/2019
Answered by Divers Supply 05/28/2019

Thanks for asking. I suggest an XL based off of the information given. On the product page under the picture of the BCD, we have a size chart. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to call or ask.

How much does it weigh?

02/18/2018
Answered by Divers Supply 02/19/2018

Thank you for your question! The Mares Bolt SLS BCD weighs about 5 lbs. by itself.

does this come with the single tank strap? Can't see the back.

04/28/2017
Answered by Divers Supply 04/28/2017

Thanks for the question! Yes, the Mares Bolt SLS comes with a single tank strap. It also has a tank height adjustment strap. I hope this helps! Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Review Part 2

By Richard Serrill on November 20, 2020

So I’ve had a chance to put 15 dives in on this BC. NOW I can give it 5 Stars! In my first review I commented that the BC, while inflated, forced you to lean forward on the surface. A simple adjust on the surface I simply shifted my weight making the air in the bladder spread across my torso allowing me to float more evenly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
