: Compact and lightweight

- Sturdy and durable

- Superior resistance to abrasion

- Hi-viz yellow cover and hose

Cutting-edge technology for the Prestige NTT octopus. The characteristics of the case material transmit heat to make cold water dives possible without the worries associated with using traditional plastic cases. The Dive Pre-Dive system avoids bothersome free flows when the second stage is not being used.

FOR DEMANDING DIVERS

Those who dive frequently and in difficult conditions need products featuring superior quality and consistent performance, time and time again. Mares has always focused on new technologies and innovative products that lead to concrete benefits: superior reliability and performance will be appreciated by the most experienced demanding divers.


COLD WATER

Designing and engineering products for cold water diving requires maximum attention to performance, safety and technical details. Mares creates equipment specific for cold water and ice diving. Rigorous tests ensure top notch performance keeping you comfortable, warm and secure. Even the US Navy has conceded Mares to be the best equipment for extreme conditions.


MAX COMFORT

Comfort is always one of the primary design elements in Mares equipment. Mares through superior technology continues to research, innovate and upgrade your level of comfort before and during your dive. Equipment marked with Max Comfort bring this quality of comfort to the most up-to-date premier pinnacle.


IDEAL FOR TRAVEL

In today-s world of travel we are strictly confined by airline weight restrictions, therefore the design of your equipment needs to encompass elements to be travel friendly. Lightweight, streamlined, easy to pack and hassle free are just some of the elements included in the gear marked for travel.

DFC - DYNAMIC FLOW CONTROL

DFC system minimizes the intermediate pressure drop during inhalation, making it possible to use a simpler and more reliable second stage. Any type of manual adjustment is not necessary, thanks to the consistency derived from first stages that guarantees a stable flow of air, even under extreme conditions.


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 center that keeps the diaphragm down during inhalation, for very sensitive and easy breathing at all depths.


MESH-GRID

The patented mesh design of the second stage cover reduces the pressure of water fl owing onto the second stage diaphragm and minimizes free-flow. Even in strong currents it eliminates the need for a knob to -de-tune- your air delivery system to stop free fl owing: Advanced Technology through basic physics.


EXTREME COLD WATER

Regulators conceived to guarantee unbeatable performance and reliability in extremely cold water, even ice diving: the CWD kit is equipped on the first stage and the All Metal second stage is entirely coated with fluoropolymer resin finish, even on all key components.


NTT - NANO THERMOCONDUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY

A new exclusive patented technopolymer charged, through nanotechnology, with materials featuring thermo-Conductive properties. Second stages anufactured in NTT are lightweight in mass like a plastic housing, while granting performance similar to metal regulators.


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.
