Description
Description
If you dive deep, dive cold, or often find yourself on silty bottoms or in less-than-pristine waters, the MK17/G260 is the reg system for you. The MK17 is a high performance, balanced diaphragm first stage engineered specifically for cold water and harsh environments. Completely sealed off from the elements, neither water nor pollution can get inside the chrome-plated marine grade brass body to foul the inner mechanism. This total sealing system also allows for a dry ambient pressure chamber which works to prevent freezing, so you can be assured of trouble-free operation even in the coldest conditions. The MK17 delivers fast and reliable airflow with every breath, plus it's user-friendly, offering two high pressure and four low pressure ports, two of which are high-flow (high-flow ports deliver about 15 percent more air than conventional low pressure ports). It also comes with an external intermediate pressure adjustment that allows technicians to maintain peak performance between service intervals without having to break down the first stage. The venerable G260 is the most imitated air balanced second stage design of all time. First introduced in 1986 as the G250, it was the first regulator to introduce an adjustable Venturi Initialed Vacuum Assist (VIVA). Today's modern version features metal components (inlet tube, orifice, inhalation control knob and hose connector) for excellent cold-water performance. It also offers a left-right hose attachment option, making it a great choice for tech diving configurations. While you don't need cold water or a harsh ocean environment to appreciate this reg, the MK17/G260 was built for demanding divers and demanding conditions. Ideally suited to technical diving as well as cave diving, with every breath you take you can be guaranteed top-of-the-line performance. Also, add more color to your regulator for a totally customized look by using the color kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
ScubaPro MK25 EVO vs MK17 EVO2: which first stage should I choose?
The MK25 EVO is a balanced piston first stage — it delivers the highest airflow and instant response, and it is the choice of many performance-focused and warm-to-cold water divers. The MK17 EVO2 is a sealed diaphragm first stage — its internals are isolated from water, which makes it the traditional pick for very cold water and silty or salty conditions with less maintenance sensitivity. Both are excellent; choose the MK25 EVO for maximum performance and adjustability, the MK17 EVO2 for a fully sealed set-and-forget workhorse.
Should I order my ScubaPro regulator in DIN or yoke?
Yoke (INT) is the most common fitting on rental tanks in North America and the Caribbean, so it is the simplest choice if you mostly dive at resorts. DIN screws directly into the tank valve, is rated for higher pressures, and is standard in Europe and technical diving — and a DIN regulator can use a simple adapter on yoke tanks, which makes DIN the more flexible long-term choice for traveling divers. ScubaPro sells both versions, and a yoke regulator can later be converted to DIN by an authorized dealer using a genuine ScubaPro conversion kit (DIN owners going the other way simply use a DIN-to-yoke adapter — no conversion needed).
How often does a ScubaPro regulator need service?
ScubaPro's official recommendation is a full service by an authorized ScubaPro technician every 2 years or 100 dives, whichever comes first. If you dive heavily (100+ dives a year), ScubaPro recommends an inspection every 6 months and an overhaul annually. Staying on schedule also keeps you eligible for ScubaPro's Parts For Life program — free service parts for the original owner when the regulator is registered and purchased as part of a qualifying package from an authorized dealer. As an authorized ScubaPro dealer, we can help with registration and service when it is due.
