The SCUBAPRO MK17 EVO 2/C370 Dive Regulator System is designed for divers who travel frequently and need a regulator that performs reliably across a wide range of conditions, including cold and contaminated water environments. The MK17 EVO 2 first stage is built around a fully environmentally sealed dry chamber. A dual diaphragm system completely separates the internal mechanism from the surrounding water, including contaminated or silty water, preventing fouling. The ribbed housing is designed to enhance heat exchange, making the first stage cold water-proof. Two high-pressure ports are angled at 15 degrees for convenient hose routing. Four high-flow low-pressure ports maximise airflow and allow flexible hose configuration. A twin spring layout contributes to both performance and overall compactness. The first stage is constructed from chrome-plated brass.
The C370 second stage is built from a fiberglass-reinforced nylon casing. The metal valve housing, known as the barrel, is constructed to withstand years of regular diving. The air-balanced valve smooths inhalation effort as depth and tank pressure change. A diver-adjustable inhalation effort knob and a coaxial dive and pre-dive lever allow precise control over breathing resistance. A large, easy-to-activate purge button is positioned for quick access. A super-flow hose with an oversized bore allows more air through on each breath. The hi-flow mouthpiece has an orthodontic shape that sits comfortably in the mouth and does not restrict airflow.
The Black/Graphite version comes with a standard graphite colour frame on the second stage. Five additional colour frames are available separately and are diver-changeable in seconds using a flathead screwdriver or simple pry tool. The system is CE certified to EN250A European Standards for all diving conditions including extreme cold water. All SCUBAPRO regulators are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. Compatible with Nitrox mixes up to 40% oxygen, subject to maintenance requirements.

FAQ
What makes the SCUBAPRO MK17 EVO 2 first stage suitable for cold and contaminated water?
The MK17 EVO 2 features a fully environmentally sealed dry chamber with a dual diaphragm system that completely isolates the internal mechanism from the surrounding water. The ribbed housing enhances heat exchange. The system is CE certified to EN250A for all diving conditions including extreme cold water.
What is the difference between the SCUBAPRO MK17 EVO 2 and MK11 EVO first stage?
The MK17 EVO 2 uses a fully environmentally sealed dry chamber with a dual diaphragm system, designed for cold and contaminated water. The MK11 EVO uses a balanced diaphragm with a forged brass body and metal fins for thermal exchange, without the full environmental sealing of the MK17 EVO 2.
Can I use the SCUBAPRO MK17 EVO 2/C370 in contaminated water?
Yes. The dual diaphragm environmentally sealed system is specifically designed to prevent fouling when diving in contaminated or silty water conditions.
Can I personalise the SCUBAPRO MK17 EVO 2/C370 regulator?
Yes. The C370 second stage accepts diver-changeable colour frames in six colours. The Black/Graphite version comes with a standard graphite frame. All other frames are sold separately and swap in seconds using a flathead screwdriver or simple pry tool.
Can I use the SCUBAPRO MK17 EVO 2/C370 with Nitrox?
The system is compatible with Nitrox mixes up to 40% oxygen. If previously used with standard compressed air, a dedicated Nitrox maintenance and cleaning procedure must be completed by an authorised SCUBAPRO technician before use.
What warranty covers the SCUBAPRO MK17 EVO 2/C370?
All SCUBAPRO regulators are covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
What is included in the box?
The package includes the MK17 EVO 2 First Stage, the C370 Second Stage in Black/Graphite, a 75 cm low pressure hose, and a 4 mm Allen key.
