I recently purchased the Mares Epic 82X Regulator and I must say I’m impressed with its build quality and design. The regulator is well-suited for both recreational and technical diving. My only minor complaint is that the oral inspiratory effort required is slightly higher than I’d like.

What’s the difference between the DIN and Yoke connectors on the Mares Epic 82X Regulator?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your interest in the Mares Epic 82X Regulator. The main difference between the DIN and Yoke connectors is the type of tank they can be used with.

Both connectors are available on the Mares Epic 82X Regulator, giving you the flexibility to use it with different types of diving tanks.

Can I use the Mares Epic 82X Regulator above the surface for freediving or spearfishing without causing damage?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out to us about using the Mares Epic 82X Regulator for freediving or spearfishing above the surface. As per manufacturer guidelines, it’s not recommended to operate the regulator above the water’s surface for extended periods. However, it’s safe to test the regulator above water briefly to ensure it’s functioning properly. We would advise against using the regulator as a surface snorkel. For such activities, it’s recommended to use a dedicated snorkel or freediving mask. Our product is designed for diving below the water surface.
