The 62X first stage features Auto Sealing Technology (AST) which protects against water entering the first stage and uses a Dynamic Flow Control (DFC) system which guarantees high, constant air flow. The second stage is completely made of metal, making it solid, robust and reliable.
FIRST STAGE
The new 62X TBP first stage is the first from Mares to be equipped with a dual piston, anti-freeze kit. The 62X first stage is also equipped with AST (Auto Sealing Technology), which protects against water entering the first stage, and uses a DFC (Dynamic Flow Control) system which ensures high, constant airflow.
The main features of the 62X first stage are:
- A T.B.P. system for improved performance during cold water dives
- A DFC LP port for high air flow at any depth
- A.S.T. technology to prevent water entry
- Pre-oriented LP and HP ports
- A compact diaphragm first stage
- A pearl chrome finish
SECOND STAGE
The new Atlas second stage features a PAD (Pneumatically Assisted Design) system in combination with a VAD (Vortex Assisted Design) system patented by Mares. This synergy allows for high airflow, offering smooth, comfortable breathing at all depths and in extreme temperatures. With no moving parts inside the bypass, the potential formation of ice crystals when diving in cold water is not a problem.
The Atlas second stage is equipped with a large, pivoting purge button and a knob for easy adjustment of breathing comfort, even when wearing gloves. The Atlas regulator uses a Superflex low-pressure hose which, thanks to its light weight and flexibility, guarantees high comfort during use.
The main features of the Atlas second stage are:
- All Metal technology
- A V.A.D. system for natural breathing at any depth
- Adjustable breathing comfort to meet the diver's needs
- P.A.D. - Pneumatically Assisted Design; the second stage valve is designed and manufactured for pneumatic operation, minimising the spring load and, consequently, inhalation effort
- A large, pivoting exhaust button which is easy to use, even with thick gloves
- High airflow
- A Superflex hose
DFC - DYNAMIC FLOW CONTROL: Minimises intermediate pressure drop during inhalation thus maximizing gas delivery, especially under extreme conditions.
VAD - VORTEX ASSISTED DESIGN: 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.
ALL METAL TECHNOLOGY: Outstanding mechanical resistance and high thermal conductivity make our metal 2nd stages extremely long lasting and ideal for cold water dives. The high thermal conductivity of metal reduces the dry mouth feeling during the dive.
SUPERFLEX HOSE: Extreme light weight and exceptional softness guarantee the maximum freedom of movement.
