Mares Epic Adjustable 82X Regulator

The Epic Adj 82X scuba diver regulator features a first stage with an always dry rotating turret and a state-of-the-art second stage with the Twin Power system. The first stage of the Epic 82X has a 360? rotating turret and is a membrane balanced first stage. The second stage is equipped with a VAD system that exploits the Venturi effect by conveying 90% of the air into a side by-pass. The second stage also has the Twin Power system that allows you to control the airflow of the VAD system, ensuring natural breathing at any depth.

The Epic 82X scuba diver regulator combines the traditional advantages of Mares regulators with the latest technological innovations and exclusive design. The regulator features a first stage with an always dry rotating turret and a state-of-the-art second stage with the Twin Power system.

First Stage

The first stage of the Epic Adj 82X has a 360? rotating turret. The special design of the HP outlets (OPD) allows the high-pressure hose and/or computer transmitter to be pre-oriented at all times, regardless of the position of the first stage, offering maximum comfort.

The 82X is a balanced membrane first stage. Thanks to these features, it always guarantees top performance and reliability at any depth and with any supply pressure. A careful study of the flows has made it possible to optimize the internal air passages that guarantee a natural DFC, obtaining high air flows on all the low pressure outlets.

The new AST (Auto-Sealing Technology) anti-flooding system is incorporated as standard in the 82X first stage: the system is automatically activated by the gas flow without any mechanical solution for maximum reliability and creates anti-flooding protection that keeps the first stage dry in all conditions.

The forging process used to make the body results in a compact, lightweight and attractive looking product, making the Epic Adj 82Xs first stage unique. It is available with an INT or DIN connection.

Second Stage

The second stage of the Epic Adj 82X diving regulator was designed by Mares to be the absolute top of the line.

The VAD system exploits the Venturi effect by conveying 90% of the air inside a side by-pass. The airflow passes through it without encountering any levers and/or mechanisms, ensuring maximum performance even in extreme situations, such as diving in cold water.

The Twin Power System allows the VAD systems air flow to be controlled, ensuring natural breathing at any depth and providing the necessary amount of air in relation to the divers demand.

Breathing comfort is adjustable according to the divers needs thanks to a knob, which is easy to use even with thick gloves; a feature that Mares also applies to the purge button, which is large and pivoting, for easy and immediate use.

Pneumatic balancing completes the list of advantages of this second stage.
