This package pairs the Mares 26XR with HR second stage, a DIN 300 regulator built for demanding configurations, with a Dual Octo backup and a Puck Lite Mission 2 console so you leave the shop with a complete, matched regulator setup instead of piecing one together. The 26XR first stage runs a sealed, extreme cold water design with 4 radial and 1 vertical low-pressure port, all fitted with Natural DFC to keep airflow strong regardless of depth, plus a TBP Dry Kit and AST sealing to keep the internals dry. The HR second stage adds an Adjustable Breathing Comfort System so you can dial in inhalation effort, a VAD System with a curved bypass for natural gas flow, and an oversized purge button that’s easy to find with thick gloves on.
The Dual Octo rides alongside as your alternate air source, built from the same family of ideas in a lighter package: an ultralight technopolymer body that keeps total weight to 183 g, Mares’ Vortex Assisted Design paired with Pneumatic-Assisted Design for easy breathing, and a Superflex hose that stays soft and out of the way. It’s built for warm to moderate water diving, so it fits the same range of conditions most divers use a set like this in day to day.
Rounding out the package is the Puck Lite Mission 2 console, which combines the Puck Lite dive computer with a chrome-plated brass analog pressure gauge on one hose. The computer runs the Bühlmann ZH-L16C algorithm with adjustable gradient factors, supports Nitrox from 21% to 50%, and logs up to 100 dives that sync over Bluetooth to the Mares and MySSI apps. Between the 26XR regulator, Dual Octo, and Mission 2 console, this bundle gives you first stage, second stage, backup air, and dive monitoring from one brand, set up to work together from the first dive.
