I am considering buying a new regulator and am looking at the Scubapro MK25/S600 (Not the titanium version) and was wondering if anyone had any good or bad info on it. I want it for extended range diving (150' to 250') mostly in Lake Michigan (temps in the low 40's). I like the right angle first stage to help with a tighter profile. I was looking at the scubapro line due to availability of service / parts anywhere I might travel.
thanks

You can't go wrong with the Scubapro, they are very popular with the tech crowd around here. You might also consider the DiveRite Hurricane, my own choice.

Thanks for the reply. I am looking at that one now also. :) I'll probably end up ordering one of them today - I would like to use it on my trip in March. I'll let you all know which way I went and how it turns out!

Well... I couldn't decide so i bought both the Scubapro 25/600 and the Diverite Hurricane. As for the scuba pro - I was torn between which first stage to buy. The 25 offers a little better air flow (but both are beyond what I need delivered) but the low pressure ports are on a swivel - which is what pushed me for this one. The 17 did not swivel but is a better cold water unit. After talking to a bunch of people I decided that the risks of freezing with this unit and the type of diving I do are minimal so I went with the swivel. The hurricane is rated as a cold water reg. I can't wait to try them both out and see any differences.
Thanks
