Mares Planet 88X TBP: The End of Spring-Loaded Regulators?

In this DIVEIN review, Torben tests the Mares Planet 88X TBP regulator, a premium scuba regulator using Mares’ new Airmatic technology. We explain how the spring-free second stage works, how the twin balanced piston first stage performs, and what it feels like underwater during deep dives, cold water dives, and heavy breathing. The review covers breathing performance, safety features, hose routing, build quality, travel weight, rinsing, and who this regulator is best suited for. We also compare it with other high-end regulators. ▬ Signup to the Newsletter ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ https://www.divein.com/newsletter ▬ Where to buy ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ We found the best shops & the best prices to make it easy for you to buy the gear you want.
