MK17/S600 SYSTEM

Premium breathing performance in all conditions. Our ultimate S600 second stage regulator paired with an all-rounder balanced diaphragm MK17 for best breathing, even in harsh environments.

• Balanced fl ow valve provides constant and effortless air flow.


• Diver-adjustable inhalation control enables personalised breathing effort.


• Diver-adjustable VIVA for powerful inhalation assistance and prevention of free-flow.


• High-flow exhaust valve for reduced exhalation effort.


• Super-flow hose for smooth air delivery.

MK17 FIRST STAGE


A high performance balanced diaphragm first stage regulator, the MK17 has been engineered for harsh environments and for use in ice cold water or polluted environments. Resistance to cold has indeed been a key element in the engineering of the MK17.


The Diaphragm Technology.  Diaphragm-based first stages are environmentally sealed so that water cannot enter the inner mechanism. Bearing in mind that regulators generate temperatures up to minus 30°C due to the incredibly fast moving air and the pressure drop involved, it is imperative that sensitive moving metal parts avoid contact with extremely cold water.


Therefore, diaphragm first stages have been the favoured 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.




Dry      ambient pressure chamber, providing       better performance in cold water than any other diaphragm      regulator. The diaphragm design prevents the entry of water into  the first stage mechanism and      enhances  a trouble-free operation,      even in the coldest conditions.


Patented      finned cap with ribs increase surface area to maximise      heat transfer from the water to warm the cold internal components.


The      balanced technology provides consistent performance at all cylinder      pressures, at any depth and optimises the second stage performance, thus      allowing for effortless breathing.




Cold Water Diving With SCUBAPRO:


Diving conditions can be drastically different, including extreme cold water and outside temperatures, posing the possibility of a regulator “freezing”. Therefore, resistance to freezing is imperative for the diver. All SCUBAPRO regulator systems are CE approved for 300bar cold water diving. Some models go even beyond this super stringent qualification and have successfully been tested in extreme cold diving conditions at less than 2°C


As a specific anti-freezing measure, SCUBAPRO engineers have designed a patented finned cap for both the MK17 and the MK25 first stages for optimal cold water diving. The ribs act as a radiator to increase the surface area of heat transfer from the water to warm up the internal parts that have been drastically cooled down by the gas pressure drop.


On the MK17, a dry ambient pressure chamber enhances the resistance to real ice cold water at any depth compared to other dry chamber diaphragm first stages.


For cold water diving, SCUBAPRO’s second stages feature precision moulded carbon fiber and technopolymer valve housing and components. They even exceed the CE cold water norm. In addition, these components contribute to their lightweight features and corrosion resistance.


S600 SECOND STAGE


A second stage regulator must translate natural breathing behaviour into mechanical reality. A high quality second stage can significantly reduce stress and enhance diver safety by providing smooth, low-effort breathing response, resulting in ample yet controllable quantities of air.


The designation balanced and classic downstream are also distinguishing marks for second stages and again imply ultimate flow performance and stability in addition to reliability, simplicity and solid performance.  




The      air-balanced valve technology of SCUBAPRO’s S600 second stage 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.      The air-balanced valve technology is featured in the X and S-Series second      stages. For best results they should be combined with balanced first      stages, like the MK25, MK19 or MK17.


Precision      moulded carbon fiber & technopolymer housing:  low friction, light weight, corrosion      and cold water resistant for long life & sturdiness.


Diver      adjustable inhalation effort. This feature enables the diver to adjust      breathing effort via an oversized control knob; it is available on the      X650, S600, and G250V second stages. All other second stages feature a      pre-set inhalation effort that suits the most common diving conditions and      can be fine tuned at an Authorized SCUBAPRO Dealer on request.
