Brand: Scubapro

Located in: Essential Equipment, Regulators

ScubaPro's Mark 17/S 555 regulator setup is the choice for divers who crave dive gear that is know for incredible performance and durability. If you're a cold-water diver, look no further than this setup; it is able to withstand cold temperatures and able to leave you with peace of mind that your gear won't let you down. In addition, its oversized buttons allow cold-water divers amazing dexterity, even when wearing thick dive gloves..

The diaphragm's design requires less maintenance than do other competitors and offers unparalleled performance.

ScubaPro developed VIVA (Venturi-Initiated Vacuum Assist) to assist with easing each breath the diver takes. As the air is pulled into the second stage casing, a vacuum is created behind the diaphragm. In turn, the diaphragm depresses the lever that maintains the poppet open for a "power assist" breath. In addition to the VIVA, the air-balanced power inflator valve means you'll have a steady stream of air, regardless of the pressure in your tank

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro MK17/S555 Regulator:

I just got this product, and used it on my two week dive trip. It held up for all the dives - never had a single problem. It never free-flowed, and it was easy to breath, even when I was below 500 PSI. Couldn't see anything really wrong with it. A great choice!

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro MK17/S555 Regulator:

Definitely recommended. I bought two. They have held up very well for over 100 dives so far without any drop in performance. They have not given me any problems diving in cold Great Lakes waters. The best thing I can say is that I don't have to think about these regs. They have not given me any problems yet. Hose routing is not ideal, especially the way the HP ports angle in towards the diver. This puts a sharp bend in the HP hose as it comes out of the first stage. This happens on Doubles and Singles. Note this is the same first stage as the S600 without the adjustment knob, so breathing performance will be equal.
