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.
