Jessica M other than an octopus, what items would I need to buy for this regulator?
JOHN D A console with guage set or gauge set with computer.
ROBERT M In addition to the octopus you would need some type of submersible pressure gage (or console or computer) that would go into the high pressure port..
ADOLFO V Hi,
I bought this item on 2009. I also purchased a back up regulator and a set
of gauges along with a compass. I dive regularly in the San Diego area. I am a PADI Divemaster and currently working on Master Diver. These items along with a MaresVector BC have made my dives safe, reliable and with minor maintenace. I highly recomend this item, and if you need anything additionally, look for the great packages Leisure Pro offers. They have some of the best deals out there.
DONNA K Assuming you already own gauges I don't remember needing to buy anything else for the regulator. You may need to buy a hose if its not included in the product.
CYNTHIA C It comes with a carry bag, but I found that it is too small. I love my Mares Ranger 12 regulator. I dive 2-3 times a week year round and have had no problems with this Regulator.
BRADLEY T Jessica, there isI thing else thatyou need to purchase with this regulator,except octopus.I do however recommend a sea cure to go with it.
CHAD S When I bought my Mares Ranger 12 Regulator, I bought it as a package. It came with a octo and SPG. Most regulators are just 1st and 2nd Stage ( no AAS or SPG) Check the description and what it includes with the Mares Ranger 12 Regulator. I bought mine in Aug. 2009 and still works great!! Definitely a great buy and breaths easily. Never had any problems with it, just remember to get it checked/serviced every year and it will last a long time!

Jessica M Thanks Chad- I'm going diving in Jamaica next week and was thinking about getting in time for my trip, but perhaps I should wait and get a package deal instead. Currently all I have is basic snorkel gear. I appreciate your help :)
CHAD S Yes, I would wait to get the package deal. Plus you don't want to lug all your gear around in Jamaica. If your ever in the Keys look me up, I run a dive shop called Southernmost Diving down by Key West! Great diving there! Have fun in Jamaica!
