I’ve been using this product for a few weeks now and I’m still impressed with its performance. The Abyss 22X regulator is incredibly lightweight and the ergonomics are top-notch. I’ve taken it on several dives and it has yet to disappoint me. The design is sleek and modern, making it a stylish addition to any dive gear collection.
Alison Tan –
I loved the Abyss 22x Regulator. It performed flawlessly during my dive to 20 meters depth. The octopus fitting was a bit too small for my tank, but a quick adjustment fixed the issue. Overall, an excellent regulator that delivers what it promises!

How do you ensure the regulator remains bubble free at depths of up to 50 bar?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Koh Siak Chin. At Mares, we take great care in designing our regulators to ensure performance and reliability at extreme depths. The Abyss 22X regulator features a 4-port valve, which allows for a smooth and efficient gas flow. Additionally, the regulator’s diaphragm is made of a lightweight and corrosion-resistant material, ensuring optimal performance even at high pressures. Regulators are bubble-tested according to the IIAC standard (ISO standard) before shipping. We are confident in the Abyss 22X’s ability to provide a bubble-free performance at depths of up to 50 bar. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.

Sadly, I only gave this Regulator 3.5 stars, and my dive experience felt incomplete. At a price of $640 it should be expected to come with a premium carrying case, but when I used the Regulator for the first time, the second-stage regulator leaked badly. Mares needs to revisit quality control!
Dominic Foo –
The Abyss 22x Regulator was the perfect choice for my recreational dive because it saved me some extra cash at the end of the day! Easy to clean, too – a big plus because cleaning can quickly become a chore.
Tan Wei Liang –
I’ve been diving with the Abyss 22X regulator for months now, and I’ve noticed that at high water pressure, the first stage feels slightly more difficult to breathe from. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it’s something to note.
Jaden Lim –
There are very limited color options available for this dive regulator so buyers need to choose wisely, but it got the job done. A good option if you’re tight on budget and still need quality performance.
Yee Fang Wong –
Can anyone suggest some maintenance tips for this regulator? How often should I replace the o-rings and does the manual provide clear instructions for this process?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your review and for choosing the Mares Abyss 22x Regulator! Maintenance is crucial to prolong the lifespan of your regulator. According to the user manual provided with your purchase, we recommend replacing O-rings every 12-18 months or after 50 dives. Regular inspection of O-rings and washers is also essential. For detailed instructions, we suggest referring to our guide for regulator maintenance and the user manual, which can be found on our website. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us for further assistance.
Julian Soo Heng –
This regulator has been an incredible companion on my dives, providing seamless breathing at all depths and with minimal effort required. Its compact design makes it easy to travel with and set up at dive sites.
Rochelle Quek –
Considering the Abyss 22x Regulator’s complicated features, it’s puzzling that a manual isn’t included. What if something goes awry and a diver doesn’t know how to respond to a particular emergency? Can someone help me clarify this? – Does it come with any customer support? – Might be a huge plus if it came with a pre-dive quick-start guide.
Imran Hanafiah –

Lynne Yeo –
Will this Regulator suit a beginner? I’d like to know because I’m looking for one for my teenage son. – Will he be comfortable using it for day-long dives? – Are the hoses and exhaust easy to manipulate?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for considering the Mares Abyss 22X Regulator for your teenage son, Lynne! We understand your concern about it being suitable for a beginner. The Abyss 22X is an excellent choice, known for its light weight and ease of use. However, we recommend that beginners, especially those with smaller hands or less size, might find the hoses and exhaust slightly difficult to manage. Nevertheless, the regulator’s comfortable mouthpiece and Second Stage design make it user-friendly. Day-long dives should not be an issue, as the regulator is designed to provide constant air flow. We suggest allowing your son to try it in a controlled environment to assess his comfort level before committing to a longer dive. Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions!
