MAIN FEATURES / 1ST STAGES TBP Twin Balanced Piston (optional) The ultimate solution for extreme cold water. The first stage is completely isolated, guaranteeing the greatest reliability at extreme depths. Phenomenally reactive to pressure variations, it meets the requirements of NORSOK U-101 at a depth of 200m. NATURAL DFC Dynamic Flow Control All low pressure ports on Mares first stages offer Natural DFC (Dynamic Flow Control) which guarantees elevated, consistent air flow to the second stage, satisfying all the needs of a diver, even the most expert and those who tech dive. AST Auto...

DFC / DYNAMIC FLOW CONTROL AST / AUTO SEALING TECHNOLOGY The exclusive DFC system is a true innovation in the diving market. It makes it possible to minimize the intermediate pressure drop that occurs in all first stages during the inhalation phase of the divers breathing cycle. This phenomenon is compounded and noticed more with increasing depth and when the airflow demanded from the regulator is higher. A restriction of the valve pin hole hinders the formation of a dynamic pressure. An additional conduit located between the intermediate pressure chamber and the command spring chamber,...

TPS / TWIN POWER SYSTEM PAD / PNEUMATICALLY ASSISTED DESIGN We’ve designed second stages equipped with the Twin Power System (adjustable VAD). This adjustment can be used at any time during the dive, allowing the diver to choose between natural breathing or assisted breathing, which increases gas flow. The result is an increased flowrate with less effort for divers who need to work extra hard, are in a strong current, or are facing extreme conditions. Second stage models featuring the Adjustable Breathing Comfort System also feature the PAD System (Pneumatically Assisted Design); with this...

ANSTI MACHINE allowing us to test our regulators under conditions that are unthinkable for others. Clearly, a diver doesn’t push himself to these depths breathing air, but being able to test at these depths teaches us a great deal about how our regulators function at the limit. What’s more, our machine is fitted so that it can be supplied with gas from cylinders, and this enables us to certify our regulators at 200m using the right mix for this depth, which is TX6.7/83.3, as defined by British standard BS8547:2016. CERTIFIED PERFORMANCE at 200m PROVEN TECHNOLOGY at 400m Conditions of Test...
