Scubapro G250

[smb1014]

If I can recommend a regulator setup, it would be a Scubapro MK20 or MK25 1st Stage (they are pretty much the same. The MK 25 can have the intermediate pressure adjusted externally without a conversion kit.) and a G250HP 2nd Stage. I have the MK/20-G250Hp setup and it has been an excellent regulator for me. I do quite a bit of deep diving (over 100FT), drift diving, and “cool water” diving and I have never had a problem as far as reliability or in an over breathing situation. I would describe this regulator setup in a few words as: WORKHORSE, RELIABLE, EASY TO SERVICE, GREAT BREATHER, ROBUST (you know it’s in your mouth, it’s not a tiny regulator. Some people prefer a regulator that has something to grab onto.)

You will see quite a few people on this board recommend Scubapro, APEKS, and Atomic. All three of these companies provide some of the best scuba regulators in the business. From my own personal experience with Scubapro, I can tell you that I have nothing but praise for their products, especially the MK/20-G250HP regulator setup.

If you can, try to rent or borrow a friend’s regulator and give them a try in an actual diving situation.

smb1014 you said

"The MK 25 can have the intermediate pressure adjusted externally without a conversion kit.) and a G250HP 2nd Stage"

Does this mean I can adjust the IP to Poseidon spec and mate a jetstream onto a MK25?

Just curious. I don't plan to do this if it voids the warranty. Let's just say it's a "theoretical" question.

Thanks.

I don't see why not as long as the recommended IP pressure of the Jetstream is in the range that the Mk25 is intended for. (125-140psi IP)

I don't know about the warranty issue but, how would they know if you did that or not?

BUY IT!!!! I have something like 12 Scubabpro regs, all 2nd stages are 250's, and I have never had any problems at all with them (and I am not the kindest person to my equipment!). As for the 1st stage swivel failure mentioned earlier, it is a very rare occurance, I have never had it happen in over 10 years of diving SCUBAPROS. I have 1st stages that range from the MK10 to the MK20. Warranty info- SCUBAPRO has a great warranty. Pretty much as long as you bring it in yearly for service by a qualified tech, your warranty will be good.
