Get Mares quality for well less than $200! The Mares R2 Rebel.
The only regulator with a Mares piston first stage and the DFC system. Its simple construction and extraordinary toughness are matched by outstanding performance, even at great depths. Its surprising breathing sensitivity is obtained through the use of the DFC system for the first time in a piston first stage. This is coupled with optimized cross sections and an over-sized "high-flow" hose. The second stage, featuring the integrated VAD system and a coverplate design with calibrated holes (mesh grid), delivers an ease of breathing that is difficult to find even in higher priced regulators.
