Have you ever wondered why Scubapro still makes the Mk2?

Perhaps someone else will weight in with a definitive statement, but I think that thin yoke in the photo is not rated/intended for 3000 psi. So, caution advised.

Easy fix, put a Sherwood DIN adapter on it!!

MK 2’s are the best choice for diving in crime infested areas where the likelihood of getting strong arm robbed are very high. You can use them as a weapon to defend yourself and still dive them the same afternoon and not miss a beat.

But why do they still make it?
Rental fleets and stage bottles.
And desert islands.

I have 2 on my meg CCR and another on my O2 reg. Totally bombproof

On the old ones like in the pic above, the ones with external threads. The old style Sherwood DIN adapter works. Leisure Pro sells it.

Thanks, I seem to recall this from the long dark past so thank you for bringing it up, it will help bring this oldie back into the user fold.

You'll see this style of regulator all over the world in rental fleets. It is inexpensive, dependable, easy to service and quite rugged. The performance of the regulator has been improved over the years and is a decent choice for one who is on a budget yet wants to own his/hers own reg.

Other companies such as Aqualung's Calypso, XS Scuba's Braun, Sherwood's (a little different with the dry bleed, otherwise similar piston function) Blizzard, as well as Scuba Max, Cressi, Mares, Oceanic, just to name a few make similar inline piston regulators.
