Mares Prestige Octopus Regulator

Natural and effortless breathing

The Mares Prestige Octopus Regulator is a mid-size
octopus with a stylish design, made to provide steady, natural and
effortless breathing. It features a reliable downstream valve
design and the Vortex Assisted Design (VAD). The compact and
ergonomic exhaust tee ensures superior hydrodynamic performance and
reduced exhalation resistance. The mouthpiece is made of soft
hypoallergenic silicone that limits jaw fatigue and offers a secure
fit. The regulator comes with a high visibility yellow cover and
Superflex hose that is a 3/8″ threaded high flow hose and is 100 cm
(39.4 inch) in length. The regulators total weight is 378 g (13.33
oz).

VAD – Vortex Assisted Design
All Mares second stages offer the unique patented VAD system. The
air bypass tube conveys air to the mouthpiece creating a swirling
vortex with a low pressure area in centre that keeps the diaphragm
down during inhalation, for very sensitive and easy breathing at
all depths.

Fluid Dynamic Deflector
This innovative deflector, developed after in-depth study and tests
of fluid dynamics, is engineered to receive and properly direct the
airflow from the by-pass tube to the mouthpiece. Combined with the
VAD it delivers a very natural and effortless breathing.

Superflex Hose
Mares developed the new Superflex hose after many years of testing
and research. The results achieved far surpass the tests required
by EN250, and even the highly stringent additional tests Mares
applies for use in extreme conditions. Its exceptional softness and
extremely light weight guarantee the maximum freedom of
movement.
