Mares Ultra Octopus Regulator
The Mares Ultra Octopus Regulator is a scuba diving regulator that is designed for use with the Mares Ultra Regulator Series Vortex Assist Design (V.A.D.) system. It is made from ultra-lightweight and ultra-resistant technopolymer. The regulator has a Twin Power System that allows the diver to control the speed of the airflow. It also has a large pivoting purge button and a Superflex hose that connects the first stage to the second stage.
Twin Power System: Tailored Airflow Control
One of the standout features of the Mares Ultra Octopus Regulator is its innovative Twin Power System. This advanced technology allows divers to precisely control the delivery rate of their gas, transitioning seamlessly from natural breathing to "power breathing" when the situation demands it. By rotating the adjustment sleeve on the hose inlet, divers can achieve the desired VAD+ (Vortex Assisted Design) performance, tailoring the airflow to their specific needs.
Vortex Assisted Design (VAD): Effortless Breathing
The Mares Ultra Octopus Regulator's Vortex Assisted Design (VAD) further enhances the breathing experience. The air bypass tube delivers air to the mouthpiece, creating a swirling vortex with a low-pressure area in the center. This ingenious design keeps the diaphragm down during inhalation, resulting in highly sensitive and effortless breathing at all depths.
Superflex Hose: Unparalleled Flexibility
Mares has paid close attention to the importance of hose design, developing the Superflex hose after extensive testing and research. This exceptional component is not only extremely lightweight but also exceptionally soft, providing maximum freedom of movement and further reducing jaw fatigue during prolonged dives.
Wide Pivoting Purge Button
The Mares Ultra Octopus Regulator is equipped with a large pivoting purge button, making it easy for divers to clear the second stage of any water or debris that may accumulate during the dive. This feature ensures a smooth and responsive breathing experience, even in challenging underwater conditions.
