Carbon 42
The new Mares Hero
- Second stage case 100% SMC carbon
- 65% lighter than a metal second stage
- Maximum thermal conductivity
Advanced technology and light weight! The Carbon 42 is designed to become an object of desire for divers who demand the best in performance under all conditions! In fact, it combines in a single item all the Mares regulator technologies with the lightest weight possible. The use of an extremely soft and light “superflex” hose makes it the lightest and most versatile regulator on the market. The incredible thermal conductivity of the carbon second stage makes this regulator perfect for diving in particularly cold water.

TRI-MATERIAL VALVE
Patented technology, conceived and created to optimize performance, safety, and reliability. This brass valve is covered with a hard PU, and then the head is layered molecularly with a soft PU. Tri-material (brass, soft polyurethane, and “heavy duty” polyurethane) reaches a new level of durability.
CARBON TECHNOLOGY
Advanced technology and light weight! The exceptional mechanical resistance and extraordinary light weight make the carbon regulator perfect for meeting the needs of the most demanding divers, for all uses and any requirement. In addition, the high thermal conductivity of carbon guarantees natural breathing, reducing troublesome dry mouth.
DFC - DYNAMIC FLOW CONTROL
The DFC system minimizes the intermediate pressure drop during inhalation, making it possible to use a simpler and more reliable second stage. No type of manual adjustment is necessary, thanks to the consistency derived from first stages that guarantees a stable flow of air, even under extreme conditions.
VAD - VORTEX ASSISTED DESIGN
All Mares second stages offer the unique patented VAD system. The air bypass tube conveys air to the mouthpiece creating a swirling vortex with a low pressure area in centre that keeps the diaphragm down during inhalation, for very sensitive and easy breathing at all depths.
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.
EXTREME COLD WATER
Regulators conceived to guarantee unbeatable performance and reliability in extremely cold water, even ice diving: the CWD kit is equipped on the first stage and the All Metal second stage is entirely coated with fluoropolymer resin finish, even on all key components.
FLUID DYNAMIC DEFLECTOR
This innovative deflector, developed after in-depth study and tests of fluid dynamics, is engineered to receive and properly direct the airflow from the bypass tube to the mouthpiece. Combined with the VAD it delivers a very natural and effortless breathing.
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.
