Detailed Description
The Scubapro MK17 EVO is a compact and robust 1st stage regulator designed to perform flawlessly in environments where other systems can fail. Built around a balanced diaphragm design, it delivers a stable supply of air regardless of depth or remaining tank pressure. This makes it a trusted choice for divers who operate in extreme conditions - cold lakes, silt-heavy caves, or contaminated water.
Unlike unsealed designs that allow water to contact internal components, the MK17 EVO features a fully dry ambient pressure chamber that isolates the mechanism and prevents freezing or corrosion. The result is dependable operation in temperatures that push other regulators to their limits.
With its redesigned body, the MK17 EVO is more compact than the original MK17, yet offers improved breathing performance and a smarter port configuration. Two high-pressure ports and four high-flow low-pressure ports provide optimal hose routing for any configuration - backmount, sidemount, or stage bottle setups.
Whether you're looking to pair it with Scubapro’s premium second stages or build a dedicated cold water setup, this dive regulator stands out as a versatile, durable, and field-proven solution.
