Info Scubapro Announces the new updated MK17 first stage, the MK17 EVO 2!!

I fear the end of support (service kits) for the OG 17 to force purchase.... Cause deep down, they can/will ...

I'd doubt that will happen, AFAIK there are no service parts unique to the MK17, O rings aside.

slang term - "original gangster".

The slang term "OG" is an abbreviation for "original gangster" or "original gangsta". It's used to describe someone or something that is exceptional, authentic, or "old-school".

I thought it meant old geezer

Newbie here on the forum, recently signed-up after spending research time as a lurker. I'm wondering if anyone has gotten their hands on the MK17 EVO 2 yet? I placed an order through an EU vendor, and it's "supposed" to be available to ship next week.

My renaissance diving career is mostly travel-based, and this looked like a nice travel setup. I ordered with a 620Ti second stage. Would have loved to get a G260 paired with it, but this isn't a stock combo.

Not seen yet, looking forward to your report.

Thanks lexvil, I will definitely report back! I ordered a G260 as well, so that'll be the octo/swap second stage for this rig.

May the renaissance be magnificent

You are my hero I want to be just like you

I will be doing the same thing as soon as I can.

Please do report back.

I wonder if it results in Halcyon also putting out a new version of their H50D

I think they’ll just give the OG17 one more plastic trim change like the H75P
(And the abomination they did to the Halo)

They never adopted the EVO hose routing, their customer base resists change.
