Introducing the new Scubapro S620 Ti: The Regulator (R)evolution Continues
Since its introduction in 2001 and through four generations of design evolution, Scubapro’s high performance S600 has earned a reputation as one of the most successful regulator designs in diving history. Now, after 15 years of honored service delivering some of the best breathing performance of all time, the innovation in S600 second stage design has reached a new level. It’s called the S620 Ti, and it is destined to become Scubapro’s latest best seller.
The new S620 Ti has a long list of design features guaranteed to enhance a diver’s underwater experience. Offering improved work of breathing (37 percent lower breathing effort than the S600) in a smaller and lighter package, the S620 Ti is built tough: you’ll find a corrosion-free titanium barrel inside a rugged reinforced technopolymer case and front cover with a new, larger stainless steel frame reinforcement.
The S620 Ti is equipped with full user adjustments, including a new high-grip inhalation effort control knob (rubber sectors are co-molded on the knob to provide the best grip, even under slippery conditions) and a VIVA switch with updated ergonomics that allows for better grabbing and easier adjusting (high-grip co-molded rubber is incorporated into this switch as well). The purge button activates with a lighter touch, and the new flow-engineered exhaust tee does a great job of diverting bubbles out of your line of sight while substantially contributing to the S620 Ti’s lower work of breathing. A new Compact Hi-Flow mouthpiece, mounted on an enlarged mouthpiece pipe, improves comfort plus increases airflow for easier breathing.
Beyond superb performance and functionality, the S620 Ti just looks good. Stainless steel cosmetic parts blend with the sleek styling.
S620 Ti Features & Specs
- Air-balanced valve smooths 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
- Lightweight titanium barrel is rugged and anti-corrosion and will last virtually forever no matter what environment it faces
- Large diaphragm fits inside a more compact casing for maximum breathing sensitivity

- Large purge button is designed with holes to improve water circulation

- Proven diaphragm, poppet, spring and lever – the same used in the S600, ensure reliability.
- Flow-engineered high performance exhaust tee improves ease of exhalation.
- Super-flow hose features an oversized bore that allows more air to flow on each inhalation.
- Newly designed Compact Hi-Flow mouthpiece, exclusive to the S620 Ti, is mounted on an enlarge mouthpiece pipe to improve airflow as well as mouth comfort.
New S620 Ti Systems
The new S620 Ti is available in three stellar regulator systems, each of which can be relied upon to deliver top-line performance in a wide variety of dive conditions.
Balanced Diaphragm: The MK17 EVO/S620 Ti is built to deliver a steady supply of air in harsh diving conditions. The compact MK17 EVO is completely sealed off from the elements, ensuring trouble-free operation no matter how cold or murky the water gets. MRSP: £549.00
Balanced Piston: With the MK25 EVO/S620 Ti, Scubapro teams its premium piston first stage with its latest air-balanced second stage. The MK25 EVO offers excellent resistance to freezing, superb inhalation sensitivity and instant delivery of air on demand. MRSP: £619.00
Total Titanium: In the all-titanium MK25 T EVO/S620 Ti, Scubapro’s top regulator technology is on display. This ultra-light, corrosion-resistant first stage is machined from a solid block of titanium which will not corrode, even in concentrated saltwater conditions, promising a century of trouble-free use. MRSP: £1,459.00
