Scubapro introduces new MK21 1st Stage

Published

April 17, 2014

Over the years, Scubapro have continuously developed their piston 1^st stages. This week they announced their new MK21, a compact, balanced 1^st 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 1^st stage allows easy identification and perfect positioning.

Thanks to the optional head the MK21 is the ideal 1^st 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 1^st 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 2^nd 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

Metal barrel
Left-right hose attachment, ideal for technical configurations
Metal front ring with coarse thread that can be easily screwed on or off
Larger mouthpiece for a natural breathing comfort
Streamlined lever
Large diaphragm for an incredibly low breathing resistance

The new MK21/G260 is now available from all authorised Scubapro dealers.

RRP:

MK21/G260: £429

MK21/G260/R195 Octopus: £545
