Its convertible left/right side use and flexible Superflex hose make it a customizable, reliable choice for divers seeking comfort and performance in any dive scenario. ## Description The Octopus Sxs is incredibly compact and lightweight. Sxs is the acronym of Second Extra Small that wants to emphasize the extreme lightness and compactness of this second stage.Due to its versatility, the Octopus Sxs is an excellent choice for any type of diving. In fact, with a couple of simple operations, the user can easily change the configuration of this Octopus by himself and use it with whip coming from the right or left side. Its slim and compact shape allows the Octopus to easily fit into a Gav pocket.The Octopus Mares Sxs is equipped with curved bypass with larger diameter, which offers a high airflow. This unique feature, combined with the patented Vortex Assisted Design (VAD) from Mares, provides divers with a comfortable airflow at any depth. Mares has also designed a new deflector to optimize the venturi effect and reduce the risk of self-delivery, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable inspiration effort even at depths above 100M. Review: Will save a buddy! - Looks just like the picture, works like it should.. this is my second one, first one lasted 12 yrs. Review: Like breathing through a soda straw - Terrible performance. I am a tek diver and cave and rebreather diver with 40 years diving. I use Atomic and Scubapro and Hollis DC7/SE500 regs rigged for sidemount and OC deep. Needed a 2nd stage (like SE5500) to complete a 5th setup, that could be handed off in any position. The reg is sturdy and very well made, but performance wise even after adjusting it is a lousy breather (high WOB). Expected much better from Mares. ## Features - COMPACT & LIGHTWEIGHT - The MARES SXS Octopus is the smallest, most compact second stage, ideal for travel divers; Made from ultralight technopolymer, it's durable yet light, making it easy to carry and handle underwater - VORTEX ASSISTED DESIGN - Equipped with MARES' Vortex Assisted Design (VAD), the 2nd stage SXS Octopus features a "curved" bypass tube that optimizes airflow for a smooth and natural breathing experience - BETTER VISIBILITY - A standout feature of the SXS Octopus is its lateral exhaust tube, which improves visibility; The exhaust positioning ensures bubbles are directed away from your face, offering unobstructed views throughout your dive - LEFT OR RIGHT-SIDED USE - The SXS offers maximum versatility with its ability to be used on either the left or right side; This design allows divers to customize their setup based on personal preference or dive conditions - SUPERFLEX HOSE & SOFT PURGE BUTTON - The SXS Octopus features a flexible Superflex hose that ensures freedom of movement while diving; The soft purge button is designed for quick clearing of the second stage, perfect for cold water or emergency ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 12.99 x 8.58 x 4.72 inches | | Package Weight | 0.71 Kilograms | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 12 x 8 x 4 inches | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Brand Name | Mares | | Warranty Description | 1 year | | Model Name | Octopus Sxs | | Color | multi-coloured | | Material | Ultralight technopolymer | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | Number of Items | 1 | | Manufacturer | Mares | | Part Number | 416562 | | Style | Sxs | | Included Components | Item | | Size | Taglia unica | ## Images ![Mares SXS Scuba Diving Compact 2nd Stage Octopus - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61f-7LS4yxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will save a buddy! *by L***N on January 22, 2026* Looks just like the picture, works like it should.. this is my second one, first one lasted 12 yrs. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Like breathing through a soda straw *by J***G on October 21, 2024* Terrible performance. I am a tek diver and cave and rebreather diver with 40 years diving. I use Atomic and Scubapro and Hollis DC7/SE500 regs rigged for sidemount and OC deep.

Expected much better from Mares. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice versatile octopus regulator *by M***. on January 28, 2026* This is a very nice octopus regulator, because it can be used upside down. I have not yet dived with it, but I had the predecessor, the Mares MV octopus, for many years. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mares SXS Scuba Diving Compact 2nd Stage Octopus - Mares SXS 62X Scuba Diving Regulator Set - First and Second Stage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/537241117-mares-sxs-scuba-diving-compact-2nd-stage-octopus](https://www.desertcart.be/products/537241117-mares-sxs-scuba-diving-compact-2nd-stage-octopus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-29*
