The Mini-B wraps up a full scuba kit in one handy backpack, overcoming nearly all the issues of space and weight that go with conventional diving equipment. The Mini-B offers a quicker and more convenient alternative to setting up your full kit when you need to get in the water quickly and don't plan to stay there too long – ideal for personal watercraft users.

Mini B C-Pro

This portable aqualung from MiniB is designed for yachtsmen who need to get over the side, for clearing a rope from a propeller, say. But it's also very much a fun scuba pack in its own right.

Coming Of the Casual Diver

STEVE WEINMAN, EDITOR

DO WE ALL TAKE OUR DIVING TOO SERIOUSLY, and do we expect others to do the same? Is the sport's entry level too high?

Nine years ago, I was chatting to Red Sea diving instructor Rob Hart at the divEr Awards, held in those days at the Savoy, listening to him enthuse about his great idea that was going to sweep the world. The Mini-Breather, as it was known before being shortened to Mini-B, was an all-in-one, lightweight scuba kit in a backpack. It made quite a splash, and divEr readers had voted it Innovation of the Year.

Microdive puts boat owners in the swim

It's not often someone asks you if you want to be a guinea pig, says Peter Nash. And in this case, it meant donning fins, a wetsuit, breathing apparatus and mask and going underwater for the first time in his life (intentionally, that is).

From Snorkelling to Microdiving

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:16:00 -0700

Seaside holidays as a kid had me snorkelling before I could even swim properly and I have been doing it at every opportunity since then. Because of this I think I am pretty experienced and have snorkelled in places ranging from the Great Barrier Reef and Hawaii to the Seychelles and the underwater caves of Mexico. [More]

Mini-B . . . the tank buster

Compact and convenient, the Mini-B is the perfect solution for the occasional diver . . .

If we handed out awards for 'Marine Gadget of the Year' then the Mini-B would certainly be a strong contender. This ingenious piece of kit just makes you slap your forehead and wonder why you didn't think of inventing it yourself. Space is always at a premium on board and bulky, heavy kit rolling around on a rough sea always has the potential to damage both itself and your boat. By wrapping up a full scuba kit in one handy backpack, the Mini-B overcomes pretty much all the issues.

Mini B dive kit - C-Pro Test

TRIED & TESTED

Mini B C-Pro

Neale Byart tries a shallow-water dive system designed to help sailors free props, scrub hulls and set anchors

There are numerous models available from Mini B, but the C-Pro is aimed at yachtsmen. The beauty of the kit is in its packaging. Conventional scuba gear is bulky, but the C-Pro rucksack contains the lot – air bottle, buoyancy control device, regulator, high and low pressure hoses and the connectors. It doesn't have a depth gauge, though – and you'd be foolish to dive more than a couple of metres without one.

Neale Byart tries a shallow-water dive system designed to help sailors free props, scrub hulls and set anchors

Diving would make it so much easier to free a fouled propeller, scrub the hull, check the anchor set or the condition of a swinging mooring, or inspect for damage after grounding. And on idle summer days at anchor, you can explore the world below the waves.

There are numerous models available from the Mini B, ranging from the Micro B with a 1.5lt tank to the Sport MKII that can take a 10lt tank.

Diving gear in a backpack

The Microdiver kit is full-on but affordable diving gear in a small backpack. It's ideal for underwater boat maintenance and inspections, retrieving fouled anchors and generally having fun.

Aimes at boat owners, the C-Pro model includes a 3 or 5ltr air cylinder, providing enough air for half an hour at depths up to 9m. The kit includes regulator, pressure gauge, pockets for weights and a buoyancy chamber, all in a backpack that's easy to stow and carry.
