Faith Goh –
I love the build quality of this regulator. However, the O-ring needs to be replaced after every 10 dives. That’s a bit of a hassle.
Elaine Nair –
I recently dove with this regulator in the Red Sea, and I’m blown away by its incredible performance and build quality. It’s seriously one of the best regulators I’ve ever used!
Brian Ho –
What is the durability of the Instinct 15X regulator? Can it withstand the rough currents of the open ocean?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Brian. The Mares Instinct 15X Regulator is a heavy-duty, high-performance scuba regulator designed to withstand the toughest diving conditions. Its durable construction and advanced features make it an excellent choice for open ocean diving. The lateral exhaust valve and VAD (Variable Valve Design) system help to minimize bubble clouding, which can compromise a diver’s visibility. However, we can’t guarantee that any scuba gear can withstand unlimited exposure to rough currents. For optimal performance and longevity, it’s essential to maintain your regulator regularly, store it properly, and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for use and maintenance.

In comparison to other Mares regulators, the Instinct 15X has a unique design that sets it apart. If you’re looking for more information on the differences between our products, I recommend checking out our website or consulting with one of our diving experts. They can help you choose the best regulator for your needs.
Natalie Tan –
The lateral exhaust valve really makes a difference in minimizing bubbles, but I wish the regulator came with a carry bag for easier transportation.

I’ve been diving with this regulator for a few months now, and it’s been a game-changer. The Instinct 15X’s VAD system has made all the difference in my diving experience.
Ellis Teo –
Will it work well in cold water conditions? The Mares Instinct 15x Regulator has a reputation for being top-notch, but I’ve heard some mixed reviews about its performance in cold water.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your concern about the Mares Instinct 15x Regulator’s performance in cold water conditions. I’d like to assure you that the product is designed to handle a wide range of water temperatures. The Regulator is k-normally used in cold water, as the manual mentions, and Mares does give considerations for cold water conditions. However, the actual performance may vary based on the water temperature and local conditions. We highly recommend having your Regulator serviced regularly to ensure optimal performance, even in cold water conditions.
Lowell Tan –
I’m not a fan of the regulator’s size – it’s a bit bulky for my liking. However, the VAD system makes up for it, and the performance is top-notch. I just wish it were smaller.
Leon Liow –
The Instinct 15X regulator is compact and lightweight. Is it also easy to maintain and clean? What’s the maintenance process like?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Leon! Maintaining and cleaning the Mares Instinct 15x Regulator is relatively easy and straightforward. You’ll find instructions on how to do so in the user manual that comes with the product. Generally, it involves disassembling the regulator, soaking the parts in a cleaning solution, and then reassembling everything. We also recommend checking our website for any additional maintenance guides or tutorials that may be helpful. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Is the Mares Instinct 15x Regulator compatible with my current BCD? I’m thinking of upgrading to this regulator, but I want to make sure it’ll work seamlessly with my existing equipment.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question about the Mares Instinct 15x Regulator, Rafael. To ensure compatibility with your current BCD, I would recommend checking the manufacturer’s specifications for both the regulator and your BCD. Additionally, you may want to consult with a professional dive shop technician for a more detailed assessment. In general, the Mares Instinct 15x Regulator is designed to be compatible with most popular BCD models, but individual compatibility can vary. If you have any more specific information about your equipment, I’d be happy to try and assist further.
