I bought a Mares V16 Regulator last June.
I like tropical waters and wanted a regulator that did well on tests and was small in size. The Mares V16 is absolutely superb in all respects and handles depth very well.
It is reasonably priced also. I bought it (and all my equipment) from Leisure Pro who is also a Mares Authorized dealer and they are excellent in all respects.
Leisure Pro is not an authorized dealer for all products but that doesn't mean they don't have authority with the mfrs.. I also purchased a Cressi-Sub BCD which developed a problem and sent it back to Leisure Pro 8 months after purchase and received a brand new replacement from Cressi.
