Mares Ultra 62X Dive Regulator
At the heart of the Ultra 62X's design is a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by divers when it comes to breathing. Mares recognized that the ability to precisely control airflow is a crucial factor in achieving a comfortable and efficient dive. The regulator's Twin Power System allows the diver to seamlessly switch between natural breathing and assisted breathing with increased airflow, ensuring that they can adapt to varying diving conditions and personal preferences.
The Mares Ultra 62X is a masterpiece of engineering, with a host of features that set it apart from the competition. Its balanced diaphragm first stage, coupled with the DFC LP port, ensures high airflow at any depth, providing a consistent and reliable supply of air. The Auto Sealing Technology (AST) keeps the first stage dry, further enhancing the regulator's performance and longevity.
The Ultra 62X is designed with the demands of cold-water diving in mind. Its second stage is recommended for use in cold water environments, ensuring that you can maintain control over your breathing even in the most challenging conditions. This feature makes the regulator a popular choice among divers who venture into icy depths, providing them with the confidence and reliability they need to explore the underwater world.
