VAD Technology

Mares regulators are characterized by VAD technology - Vortex Assisted Design.

This patented, revolutionary air supply system is based on the ‘vortex effect’. Airflow is directed into the mouthpiece area in a rotating movement, exactly like a vortex.

Introducing the Mares Prestige15X first stage, a compact and reliable regulator that meets the demands of divers at any depth. Featuring the DFC system, it ensures longevity and top performance. The medium-sized, ultra-light techno-polymer second stage has a large purge button for easy use with gloves, and the VAD system provides natural breathing at all depths. The super-flex hose offers maximum comfort and flexibility.

The balanced diaphragm first stage is environmentally sealed, protecting internal parts from contaminants like salt, sand, and chlorine. Prestige15X uses A.C.T. Advanced Coating Technology to optimize performance, safety, and reliability. The valve is 600% more durable than its predecessor, thanks to its tri-material construction.

The dynamic flow control (DFC) minimizes intermediate pressure drops during inhalation, ensuring stable airflow in extreme conditions. The first stage has 4 LP ports with 3/8" and 2 HP 7/16" ports for gauges or air integrated consoles.

The second stage's Vortex Assist Design (V.A.D.) system creates a swirling vortex for sensitive and easy breathing at all depths. The "mesh-grid" system improves water inflow and outflow, while the compact exhaust tee enhances hydrodynamic performance. The Fluid Dynamic Deflector directs airflow from the bypass tube to the mouthpiece for effortless breathing, all within a lightweight techno-polymer housing.

The super-flex hose is lightweight and soft, ensuring freedom of movement and reduced jaw fatigue. The 3/8" threaded hose measures 31.5" (80cm), and the entire regulator weighs 34 oz. (965 g).
