I’ve been using the product for several dives now, and I must say it’s been a game-changer. The compact design makes it easy to carry and the reliability is top-notch. However, I did experience a slight leak after the first few dives, which led to a bit of air loss. But overall, I’m extremely satisfied with its performance.

This ‘diving buddy’ is definitely a lot more reliable than I thought. It ‘took a beating’ under extreme conditions but still managed to deliver. Maybe I’ve been spoiled too badly by this thing.
Emily Leong –
I recently purchased this product and have been really impressed with its reliability and ease of use. However, I did notice that the gauge on the control unit is not as accurate as I expected it to be.

Heiris Wong –
Has anyone used the Mares 52x 1st Stage Regulator together with multiple second stages reg. Would you please share your findings, or are there any specific second stages that would not work with this product?
Junhao Lo –
Hello Heiris, thank you for reaching out to us about the compatibility of the Mares 52x 1st Stage Regulator with multiple second stages. We can confirm that the 52x 1st Stage Regulator is designed to work with most second stages on the market. However, for optimal performance, we recommend using Mares’ own second stages, such as the Mares 765 or the Mares 77 Smart. These second stages have been specifically designed to work seamlessly with the 52x 1st Stage Regulator. That being said, many of our customers have successfully paired the 52x with other second stages from different manufacturers without any issues. If you could provide more information about the specific second stages you are considering, we may be able to offer more guidance. Thank you for your question, and we hope this helps!
Nantawan Wee –
This machine really packs a punch. Setting it up was a breeze and as easy as setting up an underwater dive site. It kept my air supply steady and got me through the dive without an issue.
Yanisah Goh –
I wonder if the regulator still works fine after extended use of the regulator at high pressure or would it become a bit leaky?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about the durability of the Mares 52x 1st Stage Regulator! Our regulator is designed to provide optimal performance in a wide range of diving conditions. While it’s not recommended to push our equipment beyond its rated limits, many customers have reported using the regulator for extensive periods without issues. However, we do recommend regular maintenance and inspections to ensure optimal performance and longevity. We’ve noticed that our regulators tend to perform well even at high pressures, but we do encourage testing and calibration every 12-18 months. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team!

One thing I noticed about the regulator is that it has an issue with freezing in colder water which I will seriously be looking into the manufacturing process to be improved but in general I’m happy with the model.
