The Mk17 First Stage Regulator is the perfect choice for the recreational diver who wants the advantage of a diaphragm first stage for use in temperate waters. Diaphragm-based first stages are environmentally sealed so that water cannot enter the inner mechanism.The Mk 17 also incorporates a Dry ambient pressure chamber, providing better performance in cold water than any other diaphragm regulator. Bearing in mind that regulators generate temperatures as low as minus 22°F due to the incredibly fast moving air and thepressure drop involved, it is imperative that sensitive moving metal parts avoid contact with extremely cold water or debris. Therefore, diaphragm first stages have been the favored choice of cold-water divers and those working in contaminated or muddy water. SCUBAPRO diaphragm first stages feature balanced technology and are packed with patented features resulting in ultra fast flow to the second stage on demand and a fantastic overall performance.

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro MK17/A700 Regulator, DIN:
This is really an awsome setup from scubapro. I do alot of recovery work in quarries, rivers, lakes, ponds, etc... What I love most about this setup is that it's easy breathing in any position like rigging equipment often you find yourself on your back, upside down don't matter. My only complaint is the hose it came with is a bit short and stiff, so I fitted my A700 with an omni swivel and a Miflex hose. Turned out to be a totally great setup. In the water the A700 feels waightless no tugging or pulling. It's almost like it's not even their.
