[Jason Ooi]

Hi Folks,

I would like sharing with your guys, Scubapro MK17/S600 balanced and good regulator for tec deep water dived.
I used MK17/S600 75m Tec Trimix dived in PG, highest performances first stage with reasonable price.:05:

I Strong recommended.

Man is it getting good reviews. Too bad my MK15 will probably never wear out, and I honestly could not imagine much better performance.

the s600 is an awesome second stage but i prefer the mk25 as a first stage because i like the balanced piston better than the balanced diaphragm but u can't go wrong with scubapro regardless

Hi,
I always used MK25/S600 for my back gas, but this time I try MK17/S600, found that good performance balanced diaphragm first stage for deep water dive.

Jason, could you please post some hose routing pics here?

I had the chance to experiment with some hose routing options (but not dive with) a couple of MK17s and found the HP ports to be in a rather strange position.

Can you actually tell the difference, b/w Mk25 and Mk17, when you use it?

I can't tell any difference between the Mk 17 and Mk 25 so far on air to depths around 150 ft.

Technically speaking as long as the intermediate pressure is equally stable (ie: little or no lag) in both regs and as long as each reg delivers an adequate amount of air, the second stage will perform identically and the user will not be able to tell what first stage is on the other end of the hose.

On the test bench, the Mk 17 is very stable and the flow rate is more than adequate for any rec or tech situation.

Hi,

My personal testimonies is both have very good balanced in any depth, I try it at 75m "No Problem" air supplies in good performance.
Back gas port setting is perfect with long hose routing.I ask friend take photo, once I have will share with your.
