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.

Scubapro has taken its time-proven Mark 11 balanced diaphragm first stage and teamed it up with a brand new second stage, the R- 195. The R-195 is based on Scubapro’s classic R-190, which enjoyed a well-earned reputation for reliability. The R-195 continues in this tradition, but is built with modern materials and offers additional features. Combining a classic downstream valve with a large diaphragm and center-case purge button, this reg comes with a dive/pre-dive switch that’s shaped and sized for easy grabbing and helps prevent surface free-flows.
On Scubapro’s Spectra Trufit, narrow ribs molded into the ultra-soft silicone create a pliable skirt that molds to facial contours, creating an excellent seal on a variety of face shapes. Buckles attach to the skirt, enabling the mask to be folded flat for packing, and the dual-lens design offers good field of view. The frame is painted with a unique powder-coat effect in a choice of colors.
