Aqualung Pro HD BCD Package: Mares Atlas 62X + Octopus + Gauge
Miflex braided hoses, fitted by our workshop in place of the standard hoses. Subject to availability: some colours may need ordering in, which can add a few days. Added to your basket as separate items.
Aqualung Pro HD BCD Package: Mares Atlas 62X + Octopus + Gauge
This package pairs the Aqualung Pro HD BCD with the Mares Atlas 62X Premium regulator set, as one fixed rig at one price. The set is a 62X DIN first stage, an Atlas all-metal second stage, a Mares Dual octopus and an MR-1 pressure gauge, with a low-pressure inflator hose and a Mares regulator bag in the box. It is a durable BCD with integrated weights and a cold water regulator in one go.
It is the practical rig for a diver who wants everything sorted at once. You choose the Pro HD that suits you: the Pro HD men's, Pro HD women's and Pro HD Compact. The Atlas set arrives as one organised unit, with the gauge on the first stage and a padded bag to protect it.
The package comes with a DIN regulator, an alternate air source and a Mares MR-1 pressure gauge. Choose your Pro HD version, size and colour above. Every option can be ordered. If the one you choose isn't in stock, we'll contact you with a delivery date or a suitable alternative. If you're unsure of your size, we'll fit it in store.
What's in the package
- Aqualung Pro HD BCD, in the version, size and colour you choose (men's, women's or Compact)
- Mares Atlas 62X first stage, DIN
- Mares Atlas second stage, all metal
- Mares Dual octopus
- Mares MR-1 pressure gauge
- Mares low-pressure inflator hose
- Mares regulator bag
Not included: cylinder, dive computer and weights.
Why this pairing works
Cold water protection on the first stage
The 62X first stage uses the Twin Balanced Piston kit, which makes it environmentally sealed, and Auto Sealing Technology closes it off when it comes off the cylinder. That keeps water and dust out between dives, which is where most regulator trouble starts.
An all-metal second stage that resists icing
The Atlas second stage is built from metal, which conducts heat well and helps it resist icing in cold water. Its Vortex Assisted Design is there to keep airflow steady at any depth, and the regulator set is EN250 cold water certified.
A BCD that matches the build quality
The men's and women's Pro HD are made from ResisteK, a tough material that resists fading, with SureLock II integrated weights. Hose management is built in, with sleeves on the men's and octo and SPG pockets on the women's.
Everything in the box
The set includes a high-visibility yellow octopus, an MR-1 gauge, Superflex hoses and a padded bag that protects and organises the whole regulator. We set it up on the Pro HD before it leaves, so you collect one working rig.
Who this package is for
- Newer divers buying their first full set who want a reliable, no-fuss BCD
- Divers who want integrated weights and no weight belt
- Women divers who want a BCD shaped for them
- Divers who want a cold water certified regulator set with a bag included
- Travellers who choose the Pro HD Compact for its packed size
Who it may not be for: if you want tidier hose routing for a transmitter and a UK-made regulator, the Pro HD and EVX200 package is the more refined choice. If you want backplate trim, look at the XDEEP Zeos 38 and EVX200 package.
Set up, tested and serviced in-house
Every package is put together by our own team before it leaves. We help you choose the right Pro HD for your build, connect the BCD's own inflator hose, route the regulator hoses and gauge, check the intermediate pressure and breathe-test the regulator. Both the BCD and the regulator can be serviced in-house at our UK dive centre afterwards, so neither waits in a distributor's queue.
Coloured Miflex hoses can be chosen on the product page as an optional upgrade. Customers spending over £100 can also try their kit in the water at one of our five pool sites for free, with instructors present, which is the sensible way to settle your weighting before open water.

Frequently asked questions
Which Pro HD should I choose?
The men's is the standard jacket-style BCD. The women's is shaped for the female figure and has dual zip waist pockets and octo and SPG pockets. The Compact is a wing-style, back-inflation BCD that is ultra-light and rolls and folds for travel. Tell us your build and how you dive and we will point you at the right one.
How do I choose my size?
Pick your version, size and colour above. Every option can be ordered, and if yours isn't in stock we'll tell you when it's due. If you're unsure, tell us your height, chest size and usual exposure suit, or come in and we'll fit it.
Is the Mares regulator in this package DIN or yoke?
DIN. The package has no yoke option. DIN is the standard for most UK cylinders, and if you travel to destinations that use yoke valves, a DIN-to-yoke adapter covers you.
Why choose this package over the Pro HD and EVX200 package?
The Atlas set is the all-in-one choice: first stage, all-metal second stage, octopus, gauge and a bag in one box, EN250 cold water certified. The EVX200 is the more refined option, with a UK-made first stage and angled ports for a transmitter. Choose on how you want to rig.
Does the package include a gauge or dive computer?
The gauge is included: the Mares MR-1 pressure gauge that comes in the regulator set. A dive computer isn't included, and we can talk you through which one suits you when you buy.
Buying the Pro HD and Atlas 62X package
This is the package we recommend to divers who want a dependable BCD and a complete, organised regulator set. The Pro HD does the job without fuss, and the Atlas set comes cold water certified with the gauge and bag in the box.
As a package, it arrives set up and tested as one rig, gauge included, ready to dive. If you are unsure which Pro HD to pick, ask us before you order.
