Mares V16 Proton and MR12 Proton

V16 first stage
Mares V16 first stage is the latest version of the balanced diaphragm regulator. In addition to all the characteristics that have made the success of this Mares product, including the DFC system, the V16 is also equipped with the now famous SCS (Spherical Core Seal) valve for longer life. The piston shuts off the flow of air by means of a highly durable titanium hemisphere, which is unassailable by oils or grease. The valve seat is made from a special high strength technopolymer. 2 HP ports and 4 LP ports, pre-positioned for rational hose routing. The shock and scratch resistant black coating is unique and makes the V16 the perfect companion for hundreds of dives.
