Twin Balanced Piston Dry Kit For 82X Mares 416860

Description:

The Mares Twin Balanced Piston (TBP) Dry Kit is an add-on accessory designed to convert and protect Mares 82X first stages for reliable cold-water and deep diving performance. It provides a fully insulated first stage that prevents freezing and icing in water temperatures below 10°C and maintains consistent performance at extreme depths. The TBP uses Mares’ patented "Pistophragm" technology for an exceptionally responsive reaction to pressure changes, delivering smooth breathing and stable intermediate pressure under variable conditions. Precision-machined components and high-performance seals ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and straightforward assembly and maintenance. This kit is particularly advantageous for ice diving, contaminated-water operations, and technical dives where thermal protection, responsiveness and depth reliability are critical. Compatible specifically with Mares 82X recreational first stages, it can be fitted quickly to upgrade an existing regulator for harsh environments.
