Scubapro introduces new MK21 1st Stage
Over the years, Scubapro have continuously developed their piston 1st stages. This week they announced their new MK21, a compact, balanced 1st 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 1st stage allows easy identification and perfect positioning.
Thanks to the optional head the MK21 is the ideal 1st 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 1st 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 2nd 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

Introducing the SP Neoprene Suit from DYNAMICNORD
Maximum freedom of movement and outstanding comfort
The SP series neoprene suits deliver incredible diving comfort to even the most demanding divers. Fabulous style included. Designed and engineered in Germany.
The smart 3D cut and the pre-shaped arms and legs not only ensure flexibility and a perfect fit, but also help you slip into the suit with ease. Cuffs on the arms and legs guarantee perfect sealing, which is further enhanced by the flap on the back zipper.
Zippers at the wrists and ankles provide additional comfort and ensure easy donning and doffing. The small neck zipper adds another layer of comfort.
The neoprene ribs in the back of the knees and crook of the arms are unique. The clever concept ensures optimum comfort when bending the arms or legs.
Shoulder and knee protectors protect the suit in high-wear areas. The small computer safety strap holds the device in place. The SP suit series is available for men and women in 5 & 7mm and offers a wide range of sizes including numerous intermediate sizes.
Every day, DYNAMICNORD works to keep its environmental impact as low as possible. Only the best available neoprene is used for the SP series of neoprene suits. It goes without saying that the neoprene is made from limestone. It is sourced from nature and has less negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, Carbon Black, one of the main components of neoprene, is pyrolysed from used tires. This reduces energy consumption and cuts CO₂ emissions by 200 grams per neoprene suit. Innovative dyeing machines reduce water and energy consumption during production by 60%.
DYNAMICNORD’s R&D department is constantly testing recycled materials and other next-generation sustainable components to become even more eco-friendly in all areas.
The different models in the SP series are now available from DYNAMICNORD dealers and in the online store.
SRPs incl. VAT:
SP suit 7mm: £504.00
SP suit 5mm: £440.00
Sizes:
Women: XS-2XL, ST, MT, LT, M+, L+, XL+, 2XL+
