Scubapro 2nd stage advice

[BoltSnap]

It’s pretty much an S600 so parts will be around a long long time.

But will be using a last year's model, soooo "yesterday"

If you plan to dive a lot (50+ dives a year) stay away from plastic. Yes they were still work but the tolerances of the plastic will eventually affect how your 2nd stage will perform in the water. I repaired regulators from 40 + years and the only thing I can say about plastic is it does not corrode. If you take care of your equipment and if you do most of your diving in freshwater (caves) then a metal barrel on a 2nd stage would be the best investment.

OP, you know you want the G260 set. Go sell some blood or organs and go get it. I say it often enough, when I grow up and get rich I hope to be able to afford Scubapro regulators. When I was but hardly a kid working in a Scubapro shop in the 70s (to borrow from Jimma Carter) I lusted after those beautiful Scubapro regulators and all I had was a stupid old USD Conshelf and a USD RAM and Mistral. Maybe someday yet. But to borrow from yet another president, us horse faced pony soldiers just have to make do with what we got.

The S560 is $325, while the G260 is $440. Is there a big difference in the two ?

The price difference is a little over $100, skip a couple of meals and buy the top second stage, G260, that will be more appropriate for any type of cave/technical diving you will do. You will NEVER regret it and you will never look back and say: "What if..."

Note: The G260 is switchable left/right which is useful if you go to sidemount.

I was hoping for something less formal but that works.

Find a used one. That’s a lot of cash.

Or buy new on Ebay from Europe. A G260 is just 249 eur here: Scubapro Erogatore G260 2° STADIO | eBay
