I dove for a lot of years with a competitors regulator but when it was time for an upgrade I wanted to go with ScubaPro and I thought the MK17/A700 combo was the perfect solution. I've used it in cold fresh water and in warm water. It has a great build quality, seems super reliable, and is easy to breath from. I use it as my primary setup, and I liked it so much I decided to buy a second unit to use on my "pony bottle". Now this is likely overkill but having two units the same just makes things easier, in my opinion. If you're looking for a great regulator system, this is the one.

Top piece of kit. I have been using and abusing it for three years now and it has worked 100% flawlessly.Seems totally indestructible. Use includes Technical diving to 70m, funny gasses, ice and tropical diving, heaps of rough travel, limited access to servicing facilities. The initial expense now long since forgotten and it has earned its keep. Very sensitive, adjustable, light. Together with my orthodontic mouthpiece, I love this gear. It was the best then and still is. Long term investment.

I Manage a Large rock quarry for the Southeast largest dive Org. Diving in cold water is a day to day operation for me. Temps as low as 16 deg F. I dove the Mares Proton Ice for years.Only problem with it was when it was really cold above water it sometimes would "CREEP" air.Without an adjustable second stage, you just had too live with it.On this MK17 A700 you can adjust that out.This thing breathes great and works like a HORSE! The first stage is sealed and gets no crud in it.I own 7 complete regs sets and this is the best.

I am a diving professional who dives at least every other day. Lightweight, cool looking, and breaths effortlessly.

This is really an awsome setup from scubapro. I do alot of recovery work in quarries, rivers, lakes, ponds, etc... What I love most about this setup is that it's easy breathing in any position like rigging equipment often you find yourself on your back, upside down don't matter. My only complaint is the hose it came with is a bit short and stiff, so I fitted my A700 with an omni swivel and a Miflex hose. Turned out to be a totally great setup. In the water the A700 feels waightless no tugging or pulling. It's almost like it's not even their.

One of the Best
By Diving I.
I have been diving since 1976 this has to be one of the best regs, I have owned and used.
The Mk17 First Stage Regulator is the perfect choice for the recreational diver who wants the advantage of a diaphragm first stage for use in temperate waters. Diaphragm-based first stages are environmentally sealed so that water cannot enter the inner mechanism. The Mk 17 also incorporates a dry ambient pressure chamber, providing better performance in cold water than any other diaphragm regulator. Bearing in mind that regulators generate temperatures as low as 22°F (-5.5°C) due to the incredibly fast-moving air and the pressure drop involved, it is imperative that sensitive moving metal parts avoid contact with extremely cold water or debris. Therefore, diaphragm first stages have been the favored choice of cold-water divers and those working in contaminated or muddy water. Scubapro diaphragm first stages feature balanced technology and are packed with patented features resulting in ultra-fast flow to the second stage on demand and a fantastic overall performance.
The MK17 first stage's streamline body is constructed of machined marine-grade chrome plated brass. The MK17 has a balanced diaphragm to offer you peace of mind with its smooth breathing mechanisms and maximum performance that don't diminish as your tank's air pressure changes. This first stage is available with a DIN or yoke configuration, making it ideal for divers around the globe. This first stage comes standard with the Thermal Insulating System (TIS), which keeps your first stage from freezing up and malfunctioning in cold water conditions. Additionally, its over-balanced diaphragm first stage design gives you better breathing performance at greater depths. First stage regulator is equipped with two 7/16" threaded HP and four 3/8" threaded LP Ports. Two of the LP ports are high-flow ports (HFP) for easier breathing on demanding dives.
Scubapro has once again raised the bar for regulator performance with the introduction of the A700 second stage. It is truly the crown jewel of the Scubapro regulator line. The A700 delivers extraordinary breathing performance in a striking, precision-handcrafted, full metal design. Whatever your dive destination, the Scubapro A700 lets you breathe effortlessly and naturally underwater for a lifetime of exceptional dive experiences.
Small and compact for comfort in diving, this air-balanced valve technology regulator has minimal inhalation effort and super high-flow exhaust valve for ease of inhalation and exhalation at any depth or dive condition. Regulator is equipped with a diver-adjustable inhalation knob for fine tuning of breathing resistant's and diver-adjustable Venturi-Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA) for additional inhalation assistance and free-flow prevention. The regulator weighs 39.3 oz. (1,215 g) and comes with an owner's manual.
