Scubapro introduces new MK21 1st Stage
Over the years, Scubapro have continuously developed their piston 1st stages. This week they announced their new MK21, a compact, balanced 1st stage with a high rate of air flow which they say guarantees smooth and undisturbed breathing, even when diving deep and with low cylinder pressure.
Here are more details on the product taken from the official press release:
The external fins optimise the heat exchange providing the MK21 with an excellent cold water resistance. The MK21 is 16mm smaller as the MK25, but the performance is by no means reduced. Through the intelligent hose layout this impressive 1st stage allows easy identification and perfect positioning.
Thanks to the optional head the MK21 is the ideal 1st stage for technical diving. The regular head can be replaced with a 5 LP-port head for the optimal technical diving hose configuration.
The Concept
- Compact size (only 76mm)
- Brand new medium piston 1st stage
- Replaceable head for unique hose configuration
- AF System for best cold water performance
- LP and HP hoses smart layout
- Easy maintenance
- Perfect symbiosis between performance and sensitivity
- 2 HP Ports / 4 LP Ports (optional head with additional high flow LP TOP port)
The Design
- Unique design
- Streamline shape
- Polished chrome finishing
- New cap matching the style
- Very compact forged body (only 46mm diameter)
- External fins for optimal thermal exchange and anti-freezing resistance
- Re-designed yoke and cap
Functional Highlights
- Optional replaceable head for optimal positioning with 4 LP routing configurations (0°/30°) – ideal for technical diving
- Standard head with 4 LP hose routing (+/- 20°)
MK21 in Combination with G260
The G260 is a balanced, adjustable 2nd stage featuring metal components for excellent cold water resistance (inlet tube, orifice, inhalation control knob, and hose connector). Its high performance makes it a choice for all demanding divers and it will be the natural choice for G250 fans. The left-right hose attachment option makes it ideally suited for tech diving configurations.
Details

- Left-right hose attachment, ideal for technical configurations

The DYNAMICNORD RB-10 rock boot has been specially developed for professional use. It is made of highly resistant materials and features innovative technologies. As a result, the boot sets new standards for demanding professionals who expect the highest quality and performance.
The rock boot boasts an innovative drainage system that ensures unrivalled comfort. After just ten steps ashore, the rock boot is completely free of water. The diving boot has an extra wide opening, which allows you to put it on and take it off effortlessly.
The highly resistant materials of the RB-10 rock boot offer a perfect combination of robustness and flexibility. The high-tech upper material does not absorb water and therefore dries extremely quickly.
The rock boot’s unique lacing system, including the lacing elements, ensures that you won’t experience any uncomfortable pressure points on your foot when wearing your fins. The laces themselves are made of a heavy-duty technical mesh that ensures that they won’t come undone even when wet. The shoelaces can be completely stowed away in the rock boot’s well thought-out shoelace pocket for maximum safety.
Thanks to the special lacing, you can also achieve optimum volume adjustment within the boot, which makes it ideal for various drysuits or neoprene socks.
Particularly noteworthy is the sole system with the Vibram sole, which is highly puncture-resistant. The honeycomb design imitates the natural movement of barefoot running and offers an unrivalled running sensation. The rock boot’s wide, deep zigzag tread guarantees optimum grip, while the rubber toe cap effectively protects the material from abrasion. In combination with the boot’s structural insole, this ensures that you won’t feel any unevenness even on rocky terrain.
The diving boot’s ergonomic insole offers additional comfort thanks to its innovative cushioning.
The RB-10 rock boot was developed for a temperature range of -5°C to +30°C and offers outstanding performance in both cold and warm climates.
Tested by specialists, made by experts.
Designed and engineered in Germany. Made in Europe.
