Scubapro Mk2+ Vs Evo

[lowviz]

In 10,000 years when a new civilization re-establishes the earth they will find a MK 2 buried in the sand somewhere on a beach and it will still work.

BwaHaHa @Eric Sedletzky!!!

I can't wait to tell my dangerous old outdated MK2 and Freedom Plate #USA010 that.

I've got to get one of those knobs that increases visibility 3 times so I too may see in pitch black.

My knob glows in the dark .

Reg DIR, or more to the point - knob DIR.
Never thought I’d see it spread to a lowly MK2!

 

[Eric Sedletzky]

What kind of knob do they use on a Connie these days?
I know that the Navy uses a Conshelf 14.

IDA. You are still implying that the MK2 works just as good, as the MK2 EVO & mocking, I wasn't born yesterday, don't turn it around. Well, it still doesn't & those times passed 60 yr ago, like education. They are NOT the same & I've heard it all before. That knob is better than the old one & increases U/W VIS, 3x better than the metal one. It isn't even my point but to expand on, what you take light & mock, the yoke can be grabbed, with nails & fingers, less slip & uses different material. You would know, that the metal knob alone freezes then & can't be re-incorporated today. Actually, the Navy prohibits 1/2 of the equipment but I'm not telling you why.
The old T-knob is vulnerable to entanglements, meaning, the new EVO will have saved someone's life yesterday, today, tomorrow or eventually. I've seen it, at 100 ft, lines getting stuck on the T-knob & divers struggling to get out of that junk reg, that you say is the same, instead of smoothly going over it altogether. There are bad advices & practices, you don't want to promote, to students

That spring has double the coating & different material as well, compared to NONE (Z-E-R-O). The EVO will last 40 min, your entire dive, instead of freezing in 10 min & can supply gas for 2 divers to meet current regulations.

Because hearsay isn't enough to dive with us. You would still need certified & documented maintenance services. Obviously, you aren't an instructor & don't have students, there are liability issues & diver oaths. What kind of equipment safety protocols are you following & teaching then, Jesus? No certified diver is supposed to teach self-maintenance for regs & everyone knows it. No sensible tech diver will dive with a buddy using a T-knob, after, what I've seen, in the pitch black.

There are big differences

BAD ADVICE, DO NOT BUY AN OLD ONE & JUST DIVE WITH IT, AS BEING THE SAME - No Thank You

My R190 is insulted :

R190 = AIR2 minus the inflator/deflator...so there.

Well, maybe you can 'splain that to me Saturday?

Since I have forsaken dh regs (due to DHIP) and moved into the uncharted waters of sh regs then an Air II might just be in my future. And I was looking at a Scubapro Go BC thinking just how snug as a bug I would be in that little thing compared to all the plates and bands and screws and gizmos involved in a wing/BP. And it even has a pocket or two! Wow, imagine that, a pocket! An Air II would be just lovely with the Go BC and a G250. I am into simple and the Mark II is simple (and so is the R190). I know where a new Mark II Evo is and just think with a G250 and Air II and a Go BC I could be in non-Hog heaven reducing the total parts count of my kit significantly.
