PRODUCT SHOWCASE: Mares Fusion 52X Regulator
Fusion 52X is the most recent development from Mares in the elite regulator segment, creating a new technical and innovative paradigm in the dive market.
The new Fusion 52X boasts innovations in both the first and second stages. It improves performance and functions differently from any other regulator in the industry and at the same time, has won a Red Dot Design Award.
The new first stage (52X) is better performing and features new characteristics that make it truly unique to the regulator market.
In addition to the double DFC system for outstanding airflow at any depth and the NCC (Natural Convection Channel) for advanced performance even in cold water, this regulator now features the new ACT – Advanced Coating Technology – valve. With a new innovative coating, the new high pressure valve passes all durability tests demonstrating performance up to 600% better than traditional valves.
In addition, a direct focus to improve the many components inside the first stage was closely examined ensuring the very best performance and reliability.
The unique features and innovation of this regulator aren’t limited to just the first stage.
For the first time in Mares regulator design, the second stage (Fusion) features the “Twin Power” flow control, which changes the way gas is delivered, from natural breathing to power breathing.
Switching from the VAD position to VAD + is quick and easy, allowing divers to move effortlessly between the two settings at any time and in any situation.
The increase in performance is created by a detailed analysis and reconfiguration of the geometry of the bypass tube, a Mares exclusive (patent). In addition to making it larger (cross-section increased by 77%), the shape of the bypass tube now features two curves maximizing utilization of air flow potential.
Also, increasing the depth of the 2nd stage body allows for extended demand lever travel, resulting in a 2nd stage valve that can open farther, ensuring optimum performance even at extreme depths.
The purge button is a fine-tuned version of what is already offered on the Instinct second stage, which swivels making it incredibly easy to use.
Both the first and second stages have been upgraded with a unique and exclusive look, boasting a matte satin coating making the Fusion 52X a true gem.
Available as a regulator and an octopus, with both INT and DIN versions.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
