Introducing the new Scubapro S620 Ti: The Regulator (R)evolution Continues
Since its introduction in 2001 and through four generations of design evolution, Scubapro’s high performance S600 has earned a reputation as one of the most successful regulator designs in diving history. Now, after 15 years of honored service delivering some of the best breathing performance of all time, the innovation in S600 second stage design has reached a new level. It’s called the S620 Ti, and it is destined to become Scubapro’s latest best seller.
The new S620 Ti has a long list of design features guaranteed to enhance a diver’s underwater experience. Offering improved work of breathing (37 percent lower breathing effort than the S600) in a smaller and lighter package, the S620 Ti is built tough: you’ll find a corrosion-free titanium barrel inside a rugged reinforced technopolymer case and front cover with a new, larger stainless steel frame reinforcement.
The S620 Ti is equipped with full user adjustments, including a new high-grip inhalation effort control knob (rubber sectors are co-molded on the knob to provide the best grip, even under slippery conditions) and a VIVA switch with updated ergonomics that allows for better grabbing and easier adjusting (high-grip co-molded rubber is incorporated into this switch as well). The purge button activates with a lighter touch, and the new flow-engineered exhaust tee does a great job of diverting bubbles out of your line of sight while substantially contributing to the S620 Ti’s lower work of breathing. A new Compact Hi-Flow mouthpiece, mounted on an enlarged mouthpiece pipe, improves comfort plus increases airflow for easier breathing.
Beyond superb performance and functionality, the S620 Ti just looks good. Stainless steel cosmetic parts blend with the sleek styling.

Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!
