MR
22 Abyss, the absolute. MR 22
Abyss is the top-performing regulator, the technical product embodying
the latest underwater breathing innovations. Designed to
meet the severe U.S. Navy specifications, it has proven it can
substatially exceed them.
First
Stage. MR 22 diaphragm first stage featuring the DFC system
and replaceable HP seat connector. The poppet is guaranteed for
200 dives or two years operation. Compact body, in a modern and
smart style, it is made of hot-forged nickel-plated and chromed
brass. It is fitted with a preferential intermediate pressure
port for connection to the main second stage, plus 3 other LP
ports and 2 HP ports. The latter are inclined at a 45° angle
to allow a more rational layout of hoses or of the transmission
of modern hose-free, air integrated dive computer.
Second
Stage. Abyss' second stage, with its V.A.D. system,
is made of nickel- and chrome-plated brass. This material
offers a number of benefits, i.e.: absolute ruggedness, thinner
walls, hence compact dimensions obtained without using smaller-diameter
diaphragms; this results unreduced water drag; anti-freeze function,
which is enhanced by the "radiator action" of the metal. Its streamlined
shape optimizes the traditional profile that is now made precious
by the functional reliefs on the cover which were developed to
make water inflow and outflow easier while breathing and swimming.
The large manual purge button is placed in a central, perfectly
ergonomic position. The mouthpiece is of soft hypoallergenic silicone;
no distress and no fatigue, even after very long dives.
Technological
perfection coupled with a perfectmaterial: Titanium. Abyss
MR 22 Titanium is the "flagship" regulator of MARES range.
Prestige and added performance. The precious Titanium coating
is provided to protect all metal parts of the first and second
stages and is obtained through PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)
to guarantee a unique shining look and ultimate abrasion and corrision
resistance.
