"HP / LP ports" is the number of high-pressure and low-pressure ports on the first stage, which caps how many accessories (transmitter, SPG, inflator, second second-stage) you can run at once.

Pros
  • Simple flow-by piston design is rugged and cheap to service, a common pick for rental fleets and dive centers
  • Nitrox compatible out of the box
  • Budget pricing well below Mares's Prestige and Abyss lines
Cons
  • Unbalanced, unsealed piston design makes it a poor fit for cold water
  • No adjustable breathing-resistance control on the second stage
  • No octopus included, sold as reg only

The Rover 2S is Mares’s workhorse entry-level regulator, an unbalanced, unsealed piston design chosen by rental fleets and dive centers for its ruggedness and low service cost. It’s a solid budget or backup regulator for warm and temperate recreational diving, but its unsealed piston first stage makes it a poor match for cold water. Also sold in a DIN version.
