Mares Octopus SXS
The SXS Octopus is incredibly compact and lightweight. SXS stands for Second eXtra Small and emphasizes the extreme lightness and compactness of this second-stage model.
Thanks to its versatility, the SXS Octopus is an excellent choice for all types of diving. In fact, with a few simple operations, the user can easily change the configuration of this octopus and use it with a hose coming from the right or left side.
Its slim, compact design allows the octopus to fit easily into a pocket of a BCD.
The Mares SXS Octopus is equipped with a curved bypass and a large diameter that provides high airflow. This unique feature, combined with Mares' patented Vortex Assisted Design (VAD), provides divers with comfortable airflow at any depth.
Mares has also designed a new deflector to optimize the Venturi effect and reduce the risk of free-flow, ensuring smoother, more comfortable inhalation, even at depths greater than 100m.

Technologies
Ultralight Technopolymer: Abrasion resistant and affordable, ideal for diving in warm and moderate water temperatures.
VAD-Vortex Assisted Design: The air bypass tube conveys air to the mouthpiece creating a swirling vortex with a low-pressure area in the center that keeps the diaphragm down during inhalation, for very sensitive and easy breathing at all depths.
Superflex Hose: Extreme light weight and exceptional softness guarantee the maximum freedom of movement.
