Scubapro introduces the S270
Scubapro introduces two new regulator systems targeted to recreational divers who are ready to step up from their entry-level regulator systems and are looking for a reliable upgrade that’s durable while delivering smooth breathing performance.
These new regulator systems are built around a new second stage – the S270.
It’s air-balanced design smooths out the inhalation effort when diving at varying depths and supply pressures for effortless air delivery, regardless of position in the water. The techno polymer plastic barrel with metal thread helps save weight and provides a surface that ice crystals can’t grab onto when diving in cold water. This contributes to why S270 regulator systems are CE certified to the latest EN250A European Standards for all diving conditions, including extreme cold water.
The S270’s sturdy yet lightweight casing, made of a fiberglass-reinforced nylon core with a special anti-scratch PU outer layer, is able to handle years of hard use while reducing jaw fatigue and improving diving comfort. The S270 comes with a dive/predive switch that is easy to use, even when wearing thick gloves, and a compact exhaust tee that is very efficient in minimizing exhalation effort. The Hi-Flow mouthpiece, made with FDA-approved silicone, is comfortable and features a large cross-section to maximize airflow. It is teamed with a super-flow hose with an oversized bore that allows more air to flow on each inhalation.
The S270 is paired with MK11 and MK2 EVO first stages. The MK11/S270 features a balanced diaphragm first stage with sealed internal parts. This prevents water and pollutants from fouling the inner mechanism while enhancing cold water performance. The MK2 EVO/S270 features the only downstream piston-style first stage with internal components specifically designed to resist freezing in extreme cold-water conditions. Both systems are affordable, durable and deliver smooth and reliable breathing performance. This makes them ideal choices not only for recreational divers but for training and rental agencies seeking solid performance from regulator systems that will last.
The S270 is also available in an octo version (sold separately). The S270 Balanced Octo delivers all the ruggedness, user features and breathing performance as the standard S270, then adds a high-viz yellow front cover and a high-viz yellow 1m large-bore super-flow hose. Both stand out under water so are easy to spot when needed. The S270 Balanced Octo is the ideal backup breather for any dive system.

May the 4th be with you!
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!
