A stellar, ultrahigh airflow performer, SCUBAPRO’s MK25 smoked the ANSTI breathing machine when it was tested by ScubaLab. In fact, the more we stressed this reg, even down to extreme test depths, the better it performed. It is a balanced piston design with five low-pressure ports mounted on a swivel turret. The sharp-looking A700 second is now available in a new Black Tech version with a titanium nitride PVD coating that makes it more rugged, scratch-resistant and even more durable.

When ScubaLab put the Mikron on the ANSTI breathing machine, it pumped out lots of air, even at extreme depths and breathing rates. Built for traveling, the Mikron features a balanced-diaphragm first stage that isn’t much bigger than a golf ball, a compact, pneumatically balanced second stage and an ultra-light, ultra-flexible braided hose. The user-control knob offers about one-and-a-quarter turns of adjustment and, when fully closed, it does an excellent job of preventing surface free flows.

This 2010 Testers’ Choice regulator is a powerhouse when it comes to performance. And it’s a great price. The balanced diaphragm first-stage Cayman is SUBGEAR’s top-of-the line regulator, yet it’s less than $500. In ScubaLab’s 2010 testing, the Cayman was the only reg in the under $500 category to reach all depth levels with a score of “above and beyond” in work-of-breathing evaluation. In fact, the more ScubaLab stressed the Cayman, the better it performed. Click here for more info.

 SCUBAPRO’s balanced diaphragm first-stage MK 11 is engineered to prevent the flow of cold or polluted water into the regulator, yet provide easy airflow regardless of tank pressure. New for this year, the MK 11 is now forged, making for a lighter-weight yet just as durable version of this five-year-old regulator design. The compact second stage features SCUBAPRO’s OFD, Optimal Flow Design, an improvement over traditional downstream valves. At the same time, diver-adjustable VIVA and inhalation controls make for a truly personalized breathing effort.

The balanced-piston first stage MK25T has been Scubapro’s top performer for well over a decade. The titanium version, coupled with the titanium S600T second stage, offers the same performance and reliability but in a package better suited to the traveling diver.For more information, visit www.scubapro.com
