MARES - Epic ADJ 82X Regulator

82X First Stage
The 82X first stage is made from chrome-plated brass with a "pearl" finish. This makes it highly resistant to abrasion, while offering a unique, elegant appearance. It features a balanced membrane diaphragm designed to ensure advanced, reliable performance at any depth. Comes standard with Mares Auto-Sealing Technology (AST). The AST system is automatically activated by air flow without any mechanical solution for maximum reliability, creating anti-flooding protection that keeps the first stage dry in all conditions.

The 82X first stage features a 360° rotating turret with five low pressure (LP) ports (4 radial and 1 vertical). All low pressure (LP) ports offer Mares' patented Dynamic Flow Control (DFC) for high, consistent airflow at all depths. Also, the 82X first stage features O.P.D. (Optimized Port Design) with two pre-oriented high pressure (HP) ports angled opposite each other. The first stage can be positioned with the rotating turret facing up or down for maximum freedom of choice.

Epic ADJ Second Stage
The Epic ADJ second stage was designed by Mares to be the absolute top of the line. This pneumatically balanced second stage features a Vortex Assisted Design (VAD) which allows for unobstructed airflow and consistent natural breathing at any depth. Also, an innovative Twin Power System allows the diver to control the speed of airflow. A simple twist increases airflow when required (designed for the very deep diver). Furthermore, breathing comfort is adjustable with a manual knob that is easy to use, even while wearing thick gloves. This easy to use feature also applies to the purge button, which is large and pivoting, for easy and immediate use.

This regulator was created using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology which deposits a thin metal film over various types of substrates. The process takes place in a vacuum chamber in which the metals to be deposited are evaporated. PVD coatings are particularly well-suited to innovative, advanced technical products.
