Ever since 1950, when Mares was founded by Italian freediving champion Ludovico Mares, the company has been at the forefront of diving technology. His considerable experience as a diver during World War II and his innate manual skill transformed his passion for diving into a leading business that has opened the undersea world to millions of enthusiasts around the globe.

Today, Mares is a company operating out of a 215,280 sq. ft. state-of-the-art Italian facility that designs and produces over 1,000 watersports products sold in over 80 countries around the world.
