Wei Ling Tan –
Just took the Mares Carbon Octopus for a dive in Tioman, and it performed really well! Very light and comfortable in the mouth, plus I found it easy to clear even with my thick gloves. No complaints so far.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Wei Ling! We’re happy to hear that the Mares Carbon Octopus met your expectations in comfort and ease of use—especially in real dive conditions.
Suresh Pillai –
Is this octopus compatible with older Mares regulators, or do I need to upgrade my first stage as well?
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Suresh, the Mares Carbon Octopus is designed to integrate seamlessly with all Mares regulators, including older models. You should not need to upgrade your first stage, but if you have a specific model in mind, feel free to let us know and we can double-check compatibility for you.
Chong Wei Ming –
After 10 dives, I find the oversized purge button super handy, especially when buddy breathing. The hose is bright and easy to spot, but I wish it came in different lengths.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your valuable feedback, Chong Wei Ming. We’re pleased the purge button and hose visibility met your needs—regarding hose length, we currently offer the standard size, but will pass your suggestion to our product team for future consideration.
