Mares Carbon & Octo

Cipher

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the new mares carbon & octo.

I'm going to buy one over the christmas from either simplyscuba or i found another place that looks good: lucasdivestore.

Decent review of it here

Thanks for the link Murray.

Here's a few pics of the two of them.

Gonna try them out this Thursday in the pool to see how they go.

I'll let you know how it goes.

I've have this reg for a couple of months now. Can't fault it so far. Breathes fine, nice and light, doesn't tire in the mouth and I haven't got dry mouth breathing from it. Price is pretty steep but I got a great deal from diverswarehouse.

Did you change the standard mouth piece at all. I was thinking about going for a mares jax.

Price wasn't fantastic alright but i got 20% off in the christmas sale on simplyscuba.

Nope, only used the stock mouth piece. I didn't have any discomfort with it, at least nothing bad enough for me to remember.
