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

Your main/only complaint is the "noisness" at depth or are there other issues besides this point?

I liked the weight of the 620 in the water...meaning that it felt very light/neutral. Exhale is nice, as well.

I didn't like the noise at depth. It was distractingly loud to my ear. Maybe the pitch of the inhalation cycle is what bothered me the most? What I can say is that when I switched over to the G260, it was significantly quieter on inhalation. Faded back to normal "background breathing noise" if that makes sense.

I also had the subjective feeling that the venturi assist was less on the 620. I noticed this when breathing a little harder on a dive in heavy current.

I am waiting for my MK17EVO2 with the S620Ti to arrive, but I'll borrow my friend's S620Ti again to test and watch for these points you bring up. I didn't notice any of these points when I dove with the S620T, but I'll pay attention to them next time I dive with it. If I see these same issues with the S620Ti I use, I'll bring it up with SP. It may be a while before I get to dive with the S620Ti, however. It is the middle of the winter here, and Ramadan is coming in about 2 weeks, so there will be no diving until probably May (sea conditions here are most terrible from February through April and the early part of May).

You will dry out like a frog out of water, fly somewhere warm and re hydrate.
OK, back on topic.
The S620Ti is stupid expensive here , I can buy a Mk17 EVO and G260 and still have $120 AU left.

It is most terrible, especially when the seashore is only a little less than 200 meters down the street from my home. I can see and hear the waves crashing on the beach from the window where I am sitting now in my home office. So frustrating

Yeah, you have a point there

Since I live very close to shore, I think that I'll try fishing. I'll do that in the late afternoon before sundown. I know that I'll suck at it just like I do with spearfishing, but it may take the edge off just before Iftar
