[regs11]

hi everyone,
I have to buy a new octopus and i was looking a low-middle price one!
I choose two of them overall, the mares MV and Mares Prestige NTT, which one should i get?
thank you everyone

what is your primary regulator? I generally recommend to get one that at least matches the brand, but preferably identical model to your primary stage and while you're at it, look at setting up a suicide strap/necklace short hose setup with the primary on the longer hose.

i have a mares fusion 52x!!

then I would go with the fusion octopus depending on your long term diving goals, but certainly Prestige over the MV. Read up on the concept of using a necklace/suicide strap for your octopus and donating the primary second stage, it basically disproves everything about PADI's "Golden Triangle" nonsense.
