Scubapro MK25T EVO/S620 X-Ti Scuba Diving Regulator - REG242 YOKE
This is the Scubapro MK25T EVO/S620 X-Ti Scuba Diving Regulator
SCUBAPRO's top regulator technology is on display in this high-tech, ultralight reg system. The MK25T EVO is machined from a solid block of titanium which will not corrode, even in concentrated saltwater conditions, promising years of trouble-free use. It offers excellent resistance to freezing, superb inhalation sensitivity and instant delivery of air on demand. The new S620 X-Ti embraces the best features of SCUBAPRO's renowned S600 in an upgraded, state-of-the-art design. Smaller and lighter but using the same-sized diaphragm, the S620 X-Ti delivers effortless airflow under all dive conditions. The titanium inlet tube is super-efficient, the large purge button improves water circulation, and the new exhaust tee enhances overall performance.
Features
- Machined titanium body is lightweight, highly resistant to corrosion and ultra-durable.
- Air balanced flow-through piston provides effortless airflow unaffected by depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate.
- Patented XTIS (Extended thermal Insulating system) thermally insulates the inner mechanism from the environment, improving cold-water resistance and delaying ice formation in extreme cold-water conditions without compromising breathing performance.
- Two opposing high pressure ports allow the first stage to be positioned either up or down.
- External intermediate pressure adjustment enables technicians to fine-tune performance quickly and easily.
- Air balanced valve smoothes out the inhalation effort at varying depths and supply pressures.
- Rugged reinforced technopolymer case and front cover with stainless steel frame looks good plus is able to withstand years of aggressive diving.
- Full titanium barrel is rugged, anti-corrosion and lightweight for long-term reliability.
- Large diaphragm fits inside a more compact casing for maximum breathing sensitivity.
- User controls include an easy-grip diver-adjustable inhalation effort knob and Venturi-Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA) lever.
- New exhaust tee increases performance while directing bubbles out of the field of view.
- Newly designed Compact Hi-Flow mouthpiece is mounted on an enlarged mouthpiece pipe to improve airflow as well as mouth comfort.

Maintenance Tips
-
Pre-Dive Checks: Before each dive, inspect the first stage filter for cleanliness and ensure all connections are secure. Test both primary and backup second stages for smooth airflow and listen for any leaks.
-
Post-Dive Care: After diving, rinse the regulator thoroughly with fresh water while the dust cap is securely in place. Soak it briefly to remove salt and debris, then allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight.
-
Regular Servicing: Scubapro recommends having the MK25T EVO/S620 X-Ti serviced by an authorized technician every 24 months or after 100 dives, whichever comes first.
-
Storage: Store the regulator in a cool, dry place with hoses loosely coiled. Avoid hanging it by the first stage to prevent stress on the hoses.
