Prestige 12S She Dives

The new Mares regulator dedicated to women

• Performance and lightness dedicated to women who dive
• Four pre-oriented LP ports
• New yoke, 15% lighter and more compact

The new compact and elegant 12S is now even lighter, and completes the line of regulators dedicated to women.

Features

DFC

The DFC system (Mares patented) minimizes the pressure drop that occurs in all regulator first stages when the diver inhales. This phenomenon is even more pronounced as depth increases and when airflow demand from the regulator rises.
The DFC system is an exclusive system, unique on the market, that operates in relation to the diver's actual air demand, independent of depth and tank pressure. The DFC system uses the Venturi Effect, optimizing the regulator's sensitivity and minimizing inhalation resistance, especially during dives in extreme conditions.

Tri-Material Valve

The Tri Material Valve is composed of:
a central valve body manufactured in nickel-plated brass; a highly-resistant polyurethane coating covering nearly the entire valve body that can ensure elevated resistance to wear and mechanical stresses; finally, an additional covering is applied to the surface ("head") of the valve; this covering is also polyurethane but has a softer "modulus" (hardness) to provide a perfect seal, even under extreme conditions.

Thanks to the use of a special technology ("adhesion at the molecular level") and the characteristics of the materials used, a high level of safety (uncontrollable free flow never occurs) and reliability is guaranteed under any conditions.

VAD System

The air coming from the LP-hose passes through the second stage control valve and is conveyed directly to the mouthpiece through the by-pass tube (Mares patented). In the mouthpiece connector, the airflow creates a swirling action, or “vortex”. The core of the vortex is a low-pressure area, which, during inhalation, helps to hold down the second stage diaphragm, thus markedly increasing regulator sensitivity. The decisive advantage of the VAD System lies in the precision of its control. The VAD supplies the inhalation effort with just the intensity required.

Another advantage of the VAD system is related to the bypass tube, through which most of the air is delivered. In cold water diving, this system prevents ice crystals (which can be generated by the expansion of humid air in cold temperatures) from interfering with the proper operation of second stage components.

Superflex Hose

Mares developed the new -superflex- hose after many years of testing and research. The results achieved far surpass the tests required by EN250, and even the highly stringent additional tests Mares applies for use in extreme conditions.

Its exceptional softness and extremely light weight guarantee the maximum freedom of movement.

Mesh Grid

The patented mesh design of the second stage cover reduces the pressure of water flowing onto the second stage diaphragm and minimizes free-flow. Even in strong currents it eliminates the need for a knob to ‘de-tune’ your air delivery system to stop free flowing: advanced technology through basic physics.
