Diving Regulator - Mares Epic ADJ 82X

Mares 82X / Epic ADJ – Professional Regulator for Recreational and Technical Diving

A technologically advanced regulator system designed by Mares for both recreational and technical diving. The set includes the 82X first stage and the Epic ADJ second stage, delivering maximum performance, reliability, and safety—even in extreme conditions, especially in cold water.

This model is certified and has been tested on an ANSTI machine to a depth of 200 meters using appropriate breathing gas mixtures. ANSTI is one of the most advanced regulator testing systems in the world.

First Stage – Mares 82X - Maximum durability and operational precision

The 82X first stage features a balanced diaphragm design that ensures stable performance regardless of depth or tank pressure.

Key features:

• 600% increased structural durability in harsh conditions
• AST (Auto Sealing Technology) – protects against water ingress through the DIN connection, even when submerged without being attached to a tank
• Metal body with high thermal conductivity – efficient heat exchange and freeze protection
• PVD coating for enhanced wear resistance
• 360° rotating turret – optimal hose routing
• Natural DFC on all LP ports – high and stable airflow
• Angled HP ports (OPD) – optimal positioning for gauge hose and transmitter
• Compact forged construction – lightweight and exceptionally durable
• 2 HP ports
• 5 LP ports
• Weight: 790 g

Optimized internal channels ensure very high airflow and reliability at any depth.

Second Stage – Epic ADJ - Metal construction and full breathing control

The Epic ADJ second stage is specifically designed for cold-water diving. Its all-metal construction with PVD coating provides outstanding durability and excellent thermal conductivity, reducing the risk of freezing and minimizing dry mouth sensation.

Key features:

• Adjustable breathing resistance (ADJ)
• Pneumatically assisted design – high airflow delivery
• VAD (Vortex Assisted Design) system – swirling airflow keeps the diaphragm positioned for effortless inhalation
• Minimization of intermediate pressure drop during breathing
• Large, comfortable purge button
• Highly flexible Superflex hose
• Weight: 329 g
• Hose length: 75 cm
• Tested to 200 m – ANSTI Technology

The regulator has been tested on an ANSTI machine capable of simulating diving conditions at depths of up to 200 meters—twice the capability of most testing equipment used by competitors. The system allows gas supply directly from the cylinder, enabling certification using appropriate breathing mixtures for this depth.
