SCUBAPRO MK25/S600 Regulator Combination
The SCUBAPRO MK25/S600 regulator combination (a combination of the first stage MK25 and second stage S600 aparatus) is a very attractive system but how good is it?
SCUBAPRO claims that due to its patented design, the MK25/S600 combo is impervious to cold conditions… no small claim!
How is this possible?
SCUBAPRO has included large holes in the MK25 design to allow more water to pass around it. This means that the cold, depressurised air entering the first stage has a greater chance of being “warmed” by the slightly warmer water that surrounds it. The MK25 also has external fins which add more heat sink properties and at the same time helps to prevent ice from forming up the outside of the MK25’s body.
The SCUBAPRO MK25 also includes SCUBAPRO’s Thermal Insulation System technology, which comprises special material and coating products for the parts of the regulator that move. This in turn reduces the likelihood that ice will cause the moving parts to stick.
Features of the MK25 First Stage Regulator
- Machine turned titanium body and parts.
- Chrome-plated marine brass build.
- SCUBAPRO’s patented Thermal Insulating System.
- Air-balanced flow-through piston system.
- Externally adjustable inter-mediate pressure.
- Dual HP port and 5 port LP swivel.
How Does the S600 Second Stage Contribute?
The SCUBAPRO S600 second stage regulator is a wonderful piece of equipment to breathe through. It is lightweight and small but packs a lot of quality. It includes an adjustable inhalation-resistance knob as well as a dive / pre-dive switch, which has been designed to stop free-flowing air while you are floating at the surface.
Features of SCUBAPRO’s S600
- Body and components made of Technopolymer.
- Diver-adjustable Venturi Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA) and inhalation control.
- High-flow exhaust valve.
- Air-balanced linear-flow valve.
SCUBAPRO MK25 and S600 Combination Summary Review
SCUBAPRO state that the MK25-S600 combination regulator is an amalgamation of its top performing 1st stage paired up with its best selling performance air balanced 2nd stage. It is by all accounts SCUBAPRO’s “ultimate” regulator rig.
The SCUBAPRO MK25/S600 combo is designed to stand up to all diving conditions (warm and cold water).
The emphasis of the MK25/S600 regulator system is clearly focused on ease of breathing (through the balanced flow valve), and diver preferences (adjustable inhalation control). The Venturi Inititiated Vacuum Assist controls further contribute to easy inhalaion and high flow exhaust valve aids exhalation. Combined with the super flow hose, breathing underwater has never been so easy!
The various elements of SCUBAPRO’s MK25 and S600 are lightweight (titanium and technopolymer) which are either machine turned or precision molded. The use of anti-freezing materials and coatings make this particular SCUBAPRO regulator combo very resistant to corrosion and assist the whole system in colder water conditions.
The SCUBAPRO MK25 and S600 regulator system is easy to transport and performs exremely well in a variety of environments.
