SCUBAPRO has been the leader in the evolution of piston controlled first stages since its beginning; the MK25 carries on this heritage with an array of patented features ensuring unfailing performance. The MK25 is a balanced piston first stage, our absolutetop performer. It is a superior regulator thanks to its ultra stable intermediate pressure resulting in an extremely punctual and constantly high delivery of air. This means instant airflow at any tank pressure and water temperature for a real carefree dive. Air balanced flow-through piston- First stages with air balanced pistons deliver significantly more air to the second stage than anyother first stage, while their performance is totally unaffected by the changing tank pressure. A balanced piston allows the use of lighter and more sensitive components, resulting in ultra fast breathing response, instant delivery of air on demand, and extra highair flow, especially in low tank pressure ranges. The tired diver benefits from a smoother breathing regulator during the ascent or deco stop. Balanced piston first stages are the first choice of demanding sport divers and professionals. A balanced piston performsequally in warm and cold water environments. Two opposite high pressure ports- The arrangement of high and low pressure hoses is crucial to diving comfort. Two opposite high pressure ports allow for an individual positioning of the first stage (pointing up or down). This allows the diver to position the gauges either on the right or left side and increases the freedom of movement for head and neck. Multiple low pressure ports- For ultimate freedom in the arrangement of low pressure hoses, the MK25 accommodates five HF (high flow) ports on a swiveling turret, which allows for 360 degree swivel of hoses. High flow ports deliver about 15% more air than conventional ports. Externally adjustable intermediate pressure- Allows authorized SCUBAPRO service technicians to quickly finetune and adjusts the first stage after maintenance without the need to disassemble it.

The G250V uses SCUBAPRO'S Air-balanced valve technology. The air-balanced valve technology of SCUBAPRO's second stages features a balancing chamber in the second stage mechanism, slightly offsetting the force of the downstream air entering from the first stage. This allows reduced spring tension and decreases the inhalation resistance to the lowest possible level. The result is super smooth breathing in all conditions. Diver adjustable inhalation effort, this feature enables the diver to adjust breathing effort via an oversized control knob; it is available on the G250 second stage. Venturi Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA). Another SCUBAPRO patented feature, the VIVA is available on the G250V second stage. VIVA uses the power of a vacuum assist to reduce work of breathing and increase breathing comfort. A VIVA in MAX position gives powerful breathing support on every single breath; a VIVA in MIN position helps to prevent free flow on the surface, for training, for buddy breathing, in currents, or when used as an octopus. Orthodontic mouthpiece SCUBAPRO uses a comfortable orthodontic mouthpiece on every second stage to reduce jaw fatigue and gum irritation. It wasdeveloped by dentists and dental laboratories and lasts longer than any other mouthpiece, because only a minimum effort is needed tohold it comfortably in place.

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro MK25/G250V Regulator:

I replaced my 13 year old MK15/D350 ScubaPro reg. with this setup about 100 dives ago and I couldn't be happier. I've always been impressed with the quality of ScubaPro regs and can't say enough good things about this one. I did replace the mouthpiece with a custom one, so I can't comment on the mouthpiece comfort of the original. I spend a lot of time upside down underwater and this reg has not given me one second of problems no matter what my profile. I've tested and dove with many $1000 plus regs and this one is equal to any of them in ease of breathing and quality.
