Questions & Answers

RANDAL F : Will this work with dive rite back plate?Mario C : Though manufacturers do not provide cross-branding compatibility for standard mounting yes it should as the main attachment points do not vary much. For seamless full fits sticking to the same brand usually pays off.
SHAWN O : Does this bladder require a single tank adapter?David L : It's just a bladder, not a back plate. Adapters go with the plate. If you use this with a Mares plate you don't need an adapter. I use this bladder with the XR nylon travel plate and no adapter is required. You can get two nylon screws to attach them together and then the cam bands go through both around the tank.
Ramon F : Can I use that one of 22 lb with a 18 l tank?Mario C : Thank you for your question. For keeping up with your big tank alone no problem.. i cant imagine it has more than 10lbs negative weight to account for. This however does not account for the rest of your gear...
CHRISTOPHER G : Does this include tank straps?David L : No, includes the bladder and inflater hose and inflater.Adam H : No it doesn'tNick V : NoS A M : No. It includes nothing but what you see in the photo.
Shopper : how long is the hose and can a SS1 type octo be used with it??David L : Yes, I use it with an SS1. The SS1 kit includes an adapter to use with the include inflater hose.Mario C : Thank you for your question. The corrugated hose is 17' long. I contacted the manufacturer and they said their octo/ inflator would work with it. Check link:

About Mares XR Single Tank Donut Bladder

Mares introduces its Extended Range (XR) Gear Line. The Donut Bladder Single Tank offers perfect buoyancy and trim, keeping the tank in a perfect position and maintaining comfort as well as a smooth left to right gas shift. These back inflator single tank donut bladders are built to last with a strong and durable 1200D bulletproof" ballistic nylon with a 600D polyester exterior. The inner bladder is radio frequency (RF) welded black polyurethane with a heavy duty plastic zipper and slider with elongated teeth for easy access to the internal bladder.

Buoyancy control is facilitated with the K style inflators with brass buttons equipped with a 35" (89 cm) low profile, round-shaped hose and its left side position does not interfere with 1st stage regulator. In addition trimming buoyancy when inverted is accomplished via the low profile dump valve with micro pull cord. The low profile of the inflator, dump valve and pull cord all help prevent snagging when diving in tight spaces and in overhead environments. With the dual bag design (outer shell/inner bladder) the donut comes equipped with 6 large drain grommets, 2 on top and four on bottom to rapidly exhaust any trapped air between the outer and inner bags. These heavy duty grommet positions allow optimum trim.

Tank stabilizer body slide bars keep the cylinder perfectly aligned and nest inside the donuts wings when diving. This extremely streamlined, very stable continuous loop shape provides smooth gas shift from left to right. The XR Donut Bladder Single Tank comes in a 22 lbs. or 35 lbs. (10 kg or 16 kg) lift capacity depending on your buoyancy requirements. Included with the air cell is a 3/8" threaded low pressure QD hose. Finest quality materials, stylish, durable (resistant to tears, scuffs and abrasions), lightweight and long-lasting, top quality zipper: does not interfere with the woven textile tape, easy handling, strong and durable make the XR Donut Bladder Single Tank a buoyancy system for the intense diving community.
