Questions & Answers

SHANE W : I have a Atomic Z2X Reg and I am looking for a safe second... Which ones will work with my atomic first stage? Do you have any recommendations? I would like to stay inexpensive... Will the Mares MV and perstige work with my reg...?ANDRES M : It work very well. I'm a commercial diver and mares regs are working horses. Most important,low price!B JANE G : Most first stages are universal so it should fit. I have a ScubaPro and it works fine. I am unsure from your question if you are looking for a primary reg or just a backup octopus. This is unbalanced so I personnally wouldn't use it as a primary reg; it is strictly used as an octopus (backup) and will not breath as smooth as a balanced second stage at depth. However, as a backup it is great and you can't ever beat Mares quality. If you are looking for a primary second stage I would always recommend a balanced reg. Yes they cost more but are worth the money.DOYLE D : The Mares Prestige is inexpensive and reliable. I have not have any issues with the reg. Connecting to your first stage should not be a problem. It ought to screw right in.GARY H : Any second stage will work with your first stage. The LP ports are the same threading and diameter regardless of manufacturer. It's how you can buy after market hoses such as miflex. The intermediate pressure from your first stage should also be a relative constant compared to other first stages. Hope this helps. Blair
Shopper : What sort of temperatures is this octo best suited for?LeisurePro S : 50 F is the generally cut off for "cold water". 50F and above is fine for this octo.
Shopper : what is the depth this octo is good for? cold water?LeisurePro S : This particular octo is not great in cold water. Check out mares' Ice Extreme or Abyss octos both of which are great in cold water and at depth.
Shopper : is this octo nitrox compatible?LeisurePro S : Yes up to %40

Great Octopus

Very good reviews. Good rate of breathing at all depths - good enough to be a primary regulator. Great for my beginner friend who would be stressed if the rate of breathing were poor during an emergency. Also good for in a beginner in that there are no adjustment knobs provided or required (e.g.: predive/dive switch or adjustment knob). Affordable. Love the flexible braided hose.

Mares Prestige

I purchased the Mares Prestige first stage regulator as well as the Octo. I have used it 3 times now at depth to 90 ft.with no problems. I love the balanced diaphragm which makes for easy breathing at any depth and the mouthpiece of this is designed to prevent jaw fatigue!! Would highly recommend this as well as Leisure Pro! Their customer service is the best!

Mares Prestige Octo on a hookah rig

Got it as the second stage for my hookah rig. Not expecting a lot strenuous activity., so it’ll serve its purpose. Don’t mind it being yellow, as the hookah hose is yellow too. Kinda color coordinated. LP’s service was good and prompt. No concerns as of yet.

Reasonably priced octo.

Reasonably priced octo. Breathes fine for its price point; not great but not difficult either. Breathed it as deep as 90 ft while testing it. I purchased for my bail out bottle along with a Highland compact first stage. Have used it in 40F fresh water without freezing it up. No complaints.

Mares Prestige

Haven't used it yet, but looks good. I like that it came with a slightly longer hose than others I was looking at, and it's a flex rather than a rubber hose. Can't really go wrong with Mares.

Good Octopus. Free flows sometimes... especially at first. Doesnt seem to free flow anymore now that it is broken in. I have around 30 dives with it.

Good octo. Doesn't free flow and always works (I test it at depth on every dive). I didn't need an expensive one as it will only ever be used to get me to the surface in an emergency.

octo- mares prestige

By BRUNO C.

this is a great octopus regulator. breathes easy. I like the braded hose. Mouth piece fits well. no fatigue or sore jaw. I recommend this to all.

The Prestige is a mid-size octopus with a stylish design, strengthened by technology to give steady, natural and effortless breathing. All Mares second stages are a reliable downstream valve design and offer the unique patented Vortex Assisted Design (VAD) system. The air bypass tube conveys air to the mouthpiece creating a swirling vortex with a low-pressure area in the center that keeps the diaphragm down during inhalation, for very sensitive and easy breathing at all depths.

Furthermore, the compact and ergonomic exhaust tee ensures superior hydrodynamic performance and reduced exhalation resistance. The mouthpiece is made of soft hypoallergenic silicone: limiting jaw fatigue and offering a secure fit even after very long dives. Mares Octopus Prestige incorporates the Fluid Dynamic Deflector, developed after in-depth studies and tests of fluid dynamics, is engineered to receive and properly direct the airflow from the bypass tube to the mouthpiece. Combined with the VAD system it delivers very natural and effortless breathing. Mares developed the Superflex hose after many years of testing and research. The results achieved far surpassed the tests required by EN250. Hose is extremely light weight and exceptionally soft, guaranteeing the maximum freedom of movement and further reducing jaw fatigue. The regulator comes with a high visibility yellow cover and Superflex hose that is a 3/8" threaded high flow hose and is 39.4" (100cm) in length. The regulators total weight is 13.33 oz. (378 g). Regulator is nitrox ready up to 40% oxygen out-of-the-box.
