MK17 EVO 2/G260 Dive Regulator System
Pairs well with
Overview
Engineered for tough conditions, the MK17 EVO 2 / G260 Regulator System offers compact comfortable breathing performance through icy depths or silty wrecks. The MK17 EVO 2 is smaller and lighter weight than its MK17 EVO predecessor and the MK19 EVO, thanks to a forged body, dry chamber with a twin spring layout for increased reliability and compactness. Teamed with the G260, with its metal internal components, high-flow exhaust valve, diving controls and reversible hose attachment, you’ve got a top-performing regulator system for the most extreme diving conditions. The MK17 EVO 2 / G260 Regulator System is your partner in precision, performance, and confidence beneath the surface.
FEATURES
- Compact Sealed First Stage
- Sealed balanced diaphragm design makes for the ultimate compact first stage for cold water or contaminated diving conditions.
- Effortless Airflow
- Air-balanced diaphragm delivers consistent and effortless airflow, regardless of depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate.
- Environmentally Sealed Dry Chamber
- Dry chamber is completely environmentally sealed with a dual diaphragm system that keeps out contaminated water. The rib is designed to enhance heat exchange, making the first stage cold water-proof.
- Optimized Hose Routing
- Two opposing high-pressure ports positioned on a 15º angle allow the first stage to be positioned either up or down, plus provide an optimal hose/transmitter layout.
- Smooth Breathing Performance
- Air balanced second stage valve smooths out the inhalation effort at varying depths and supply pressures.
- Rugged Second Stage Design
- Rugged reinforced technopolymer design features SCUBAPRO's largest second stage casing and diaphragm for the ultimate in breathing sensitivity, regardless of position in the water.
- Extreme Cold Friendly
- Metal components (inlet tube, orifice, inhalation control knob and hose connector) increase resistance to freezing when diving in extreme conditions.
- Adjustable Breathing Controls
- A diver-adjustable inhalation effort knob fine-tunes air delivery to suit changing depths, water conditions and personal tastes, and a Venturi-Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA) dive/pre-dive switch prevents free flows in cold water or when used as an octopus.
- High-Flow Exhaust Valve
- High-flow exhaust valve reduces exhalation for better overall breathing comfort, and the reversible hose attachment allows you to easily adjust hose routing for tech diving configurations.
- Super-Flow Hose
- Super-flow hose features an oversized bore that allows more air to flow on each inhalation.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
What is the SCUBAPRO Regulator Event?
Purchase a qualifying regulator system and receive a free R105 Octopus. See full terms and conditions.
Qualifying Regulators: MK17 EVO 2/S620 Ti, MK25 EVO/S620 Ti, MK17 EVO 2/G260, MK19 EVO/G260, MK25 EVO/G260, MK19 EVO/A700, MK25 EVO/A700, MK25 EVO/S600. The R105 Octopus will automatically get added to the shopping cart when a qualifying regulator system is added.
What is the best SCUBAPRO regulator for cold water and demanding conditions?
The MK25 EVO/S620 Ti is SCUBAPRO's flagship system for demanding dives. Its full titanium inlet tube resists corrosion, the environmentally sealed first stage prevents freeze-up in cold water, and the S620 Ti second stage delivers effortless airflow at any depth. It is the top choice for performance divers who dive across a wide range of conditions.
Why should I buy a complete regulator system instead of individual components?
A factory-matched regulator system — first stage, second stage, and octopus — is engineered to deliver balanced airflow, consistent intermediate pressure, and reliable performance as a unit. Buying a complete system also simplifies servicing, ensures component compatibility, and during the Regulator Event, includes a free R105 Octopus to round out your setup.
How does SCUBAPRO compare to other regulator brands?
SCUBAPRO regulators are designed, tested, and serviced as complete systems rather than individual components. Key differentiators include environmentally sealed first stages for cold-water reliability, titanium construction for corrosion resistance and reduced weight, and a global authorized service network. The Regulator Event makes it an ideal time to step up from other brands with a complimentary octopus included.
What is the R105 Octopus and why do I need one?
The R105 is SCUBAPRO's dedicated octopus (alternate air source) — a compact, high-visibility second stage designed for emergency air sharing. Every open-water diver needs an octopus as part of a complete regulator system. During the Regulator Event, the R105 is included free with qualifying regulator system purchases, completing your setup at no additional cost.
Do promotional regulators include the same warranty coverage?
All SCUBAPRO regulators are backed by a limited lifetime warranty - see conditions.
