Recently used the Mares Abyss Octopus – NR during a cold water dive in Tioman and was impressed with how effortless the breathing was, even at depth. The oversized purge button is easy to locate, which helped during practice drills. Definitely a reliable backup for any diver.

Praveen Pillai –
Is this octopus suitable to use with non-Mares first stages, or do I need any extra adaptors for compatibility?
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Praveen, the Mares Abyss Octopus – NR is designed with universal compatibility in mind and should integrate with most modern first stages without needing additional adaptors. However, we recommend checking the thread type for your existing first stage or consulting your dive technician for a perfect fit.
Wei Ling Tan –
Very comfortable mouthpiece and the bright yellow hose makes it easy for my buddy to spot. Only thing is, the purge button feels a bit stiff at times, but overall, solid build quality.
