SCUBAPRO allows you to breathe effortlessly and naturally underwater, letting you safely forget you’re using a regulator. Our near immortal flow-through piston MK 5, produced in 1965 and followed by at least four upgraded versions, set in motion our continuing creed to provide generations of underwater explorers unequalled breathing performance. For 50 years our diving engineers and designers have applied their experience and expertise into the creation of literally hundreds of different unbeatable regulators in all categories. In the superhuman feat of breathing underwater, nothing is left to chance: thereby justifying our relentless testing and improvements. That kind of commitment results in exceptional diving, no matter if you dive deep, travel exotic seas or just enjoy recreational diving in your local lake or sea shore.

FIRST STAGESThe first stage reduces high-pressure air from the tank to a consistent intermediate pressure. This stage is generally of the PISTON or DIAPHRAGM type, depending on the mechanism used to control the valve that lets air flow to the second stage. Due to different design and advantages, each type has become the favorite of different groups in the diving community.

First stages are available in both INT and DIN versions. INT (from ‘international,’ also referred to as ‘yoke’) and DIN refer to the type of tank valve and first stage connection. DIN first stages are used all over the world, especially in Europe, and often the preference for technical divers. A travel adapter is available to transform DIN first stages for use on INT tank valves.

AIR-BALANCED FLOW-THROUGH PISTON Balanced-piston first stages are the first choice of demanding deep sport divers and professionals. First stages with air balanced pistons deliver significantly more air to the second stage than any other first stage, while their performance is totally unaffected by changing tank pressure and depth. A balanced piston allows the use of lighter and more sensitive components, resulting in an ultra-fast breathing response, instant delivery of air on demand and extra-high air flow especially in low tank pressure ranges.

DIAPHRAGM TECHNOLOGY Diaphragm-based first stages are more complex and have more moving parts than piston first stages. With a dry chamber, they have an environmentally sealed design so that water cannot enter the inner mechanism. Diaphragm first stages have been the favored choice of cold-water divers because of their better resistance to freezing. Diaphragm first stages are also recommended for those working in water containing a high degree of suspended particles, silt, or other contaminating materials. All our diaphragm first stages feature balanced technology and are packed with original features that deliver fast flow to the second stage upon demand and good overall performance.

CLASSIC DOWNSTREAM PISTON The classic downstream valve is the first choice of resorts and rental facilities worldwide for warm and moderate water temperatures. This is the best example of bulletproof reliability and trouble-free, minimal maintenance regulators. A classic downstream piston does not compensate for the minor changes in pressure delivered to the second stage as tank air is consumed, but still guarantees solid performance.

SCUBAPRO leads the way in piston-controlled first stages. The MK25 is the perfect example, bringing you ultra-stable intermediate pressure which ensures an instant and constant delivery of ultra high airflow. You can count on an incomparable performance for all diving conditions and at any depth. Made of chrome plated marine grade brass the MK25 will be your diving partner for a lifetime.

The MK17 is a high performance, balanced diaphragm first stage engineered especially for cold water or harsh environments. The MK17 is enviromentally sealed so neither water nor pollution can enter the inner mechanism. Full-metal (chrome plated marine grade brass) body and components and a dry ambient pressure chamber prevent it from freezing, ensuring trouble free operation even in coldest conditions.

With its chrome plated brass body specially designed to reduce size and weight, the MK11 is an ideal travel companion. The diaphragm system keeps water and pollution out of the main mechanism while balanced technology delivers air promptly at all tank pressures.

The SCUBAPRO "workhorse", the MK2 Plus, was originally first introduced in 1963. This continuously updated classic downstream piston regulator remains as popular as ever, especially in schools and training centers. Compact, simple and reliable, the MK2 Plus is reputed for easy maintenance and great performance.

All first stages are available in both INT and DIN versions.

SECOND STAGESA second stage regulator transforms a mechanical system into natural breathing reality. A high-quality second stage can significantly reduce stress and enhance diver safety by providing a smooth, low-effort brea-thing response, delivering ample yet controllable quantities of air.

CLASSIC DOWNSTREAM VALVE The classic downstream valve is the best solution for resorts and rental facilities worldwide as well as many recreational divers. These second stages are particularly noted for their legendary safety and reliability. A certain inhalation effort is always required to overcome the spring tension and open the valve that lets the air flow in.

OPTIMAL FLOW DESIGN VALVE This latest mechanical system provides unrivaled performance among unbalanced second stages, a worry-free intermediate solution offering high-end performance for avid recreational divers. The Optimal Flow Design (OFD) concept allows an innovative valve design where airflow is not affec-ted by the spring responsible for the inhalation resistance.

AIR-BALANCED VALVE TECHNOLOGY Air-balanced valve technology provides the optimum breathing comfort preferred by demanding divers. The air-balanced valve technology of SCUBAPRO’s second stages fine-tunes the pressure of the air delivered by the first stage to decrease inhalation resistance to the lowest possible level. The result is an ultra-high airflow that remains exceptionally stable under all breathing conditions.

SUPER COMFORT HIGH FLOW MOUTHPIECEA wider air section and optimized bite tabs results in higher air flow and stability. Improved hypoallergenic silicon and orthodontic design offers major increased mouth and jaw comfort. Available on all 2nd stages except the C-Series. Also available separately.

GENERAL MANAGER, SCUBAPRO EUROPE (ITALY)

“Our A700 combines the best features of past and current SCUBAPRO regulators. Cosmetically, A700 is reminiscent of our legendary Balanced Adjustable 2nd stage, however its contemporary design, smaller dimensions, improved technology and performance make it an exceptional breathing apparatus. On the engineering side we realized that using only one technology would not be enough to hit our ambitious target of building a new high tech regulator yet maintaining the standards set in our legendary past. We therefore wanted to integrate the best technology for each component and function, without compromise. And that’s why there are more than 200 manufacturing operations required to produce it. A700 is a handmade piece of art, unique, small & solid. No wonder we say it’s ‘like a diamond’.”

DIGITAL 330

Computers have taken man to the moon and now they take divers to underwater depths. But like with any adventure, one must be able to measure and calculate various elements, ensuring safety and optimizing pleasure. Uwatec, founded in a country known for their precision watch manufacturing expertise, Switzerland, led diving into the silicon age. It was with the revolutionary Aladin computer, launched in the 1980’s, that diver’s expectations rocketed. Uwatec engineering is now integrated into the SCUBAPRO brand, offering unparalleled reliability in robust, innovative diving computers and instruments. And these standards are applied in every component: algorithm, processor, circuitry, display, exterior case design, hardware & software, plus dive mode options: nitrox, apnea, tri-mix and incorporation of the heart rate in decompression calculations. Our products are engineered by divers, designing computers as if they had no limits, maximizing innovation.

INSTRUMENTS

An enhanced ZHL8 ADT MB algorithm reduces the formation of micro-bubbles, making diving safer. By choosing a MB level between L0 and L5, you adjust the algorithm conservativeness, allowing you to either take up less nitrogen or off-gas more quickly.

The Predictive Multi-Gas (PMG) lets you enjoy the full benefits of carrying high oxygen concentration mixes in addition to your main breathing gas. The computer calculates the decompression schedule for all possible gas combinations and in case you don’t switch to the new mix, it adapts the calculation accordingly. It is associated with a complete dive planner on Galileo and Meridian. Optional on Galileo Luna.

PDIS optimizes your dive in complete security for a safer and more pleasurable adventure. The PDIS (Profile Dependent Intermediate Stops) option calculates an intermediate stop based on how much nitrogen uptake your body has endured, taking into account your current dive, previous dives and breathing mixes. PDIS is a unique scientific application for safer, more optimized decompression.

All SCUBAPRO computers allow enriched air (Nitrox) use from 21% to 100%. The ppO2 is adjustable between 1 and 1,6bar.

Gauge mode turns of all warnings and alarms (except the low battery alarm) and monitors depth, time and temperature without decompression calculations. The computer operates as technical depth gauge to the maximal depth of the instrument.

Logbook: records depth, temperature and heart rate profiles after the dive and stores the most recent 100 hours of dive information in 4-second sampling rate, which can be downloaded to a PC or MAC via the IR interface (Cradle cabled interface for the Meridian).

An Apnea mode offers a wide range of features specifically for free-divers, including a faster sampling rate, manual start and special alarms and warnings, adjustable water density and specific logbook.

For safer diving-travel planning, an Altimeter accurately measures altitude and alerts the diver when approaching an altitude incompatible with saturation status due to a recent dive.

Active back light, with push on and push off function.

A Bookmark function during your dive, letting you highlight specific moments with a simple button press.

Easily replaceable battery.

INSTRUMENTS

ADDITIONAL MERIDIAN FEATURES• The exclusive integrated Heart Rate Monitor senses your effort, incorporates it into the workload

calculation and then adapts the decompression algorithm. With APNEA mode this function allows to feature a specific low HR alarm.

• Full watch functions (date and time in 12 or 24 hour notation, stop-watch underwater and on the surface, built-in thermometer, altimeter for mountain treks, UTC setting, wake-up alarm, silent mode, battery status display.

• Maximum depth rate: 120m.

• Displays a continuously updated average depth which can be reset by the diver at any time.

WHY MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE DURING DIVING?The heart rate is an important indicator of potential stress. This has been known for a long time and an array of products are available for ambitious athletes to analyze and evaluate their training. Whether a passionate recreational athlete, professional marathon runner or just health-conscious – today a heart rate monitor is almost a standard piece of equipment. So why not use this technology in diving as well? A heart rate monitor lets you keep an eye on the heartbeat under water and insures your dives are even safer. By monitoring the heart rate, the workload can be better assessed and the diver can react to heightened stress in a timely manner. Furthermore, by measuring the heart rate you can specifically train to increase your endurance.

Since increased exertion while diving in deep water promotes circulation and this in turn increases the nitrogen intake, the heart rate can also be used to calculate decompression times even more accurately, again for safer diving. That’s why the SCUBAPRO GALILEO and MERIDIAN series computers don’t just show the depth, no-stop times and decompression schedule but also continuously inform the underwater athlete about his or her own heart rate, i.e. his or her personal stress, which in turn is factored in when calculating other dive parameters.

However, there are several factors to consider when using the heart rate monitor while diving. SCUBAPRO has published an informative booklet by scientists well reputed in the subject. It’s available via download on our website or directly using the QR code.

Our Heart Rate booklet will help you to better understand and make optimal use of this innovative SCUBAPRO technology.

Reima Holopainen, GENERAL MANAGER, UWATEC R&D TEAM, (SWITZERLAND)

“Meridian is a unique SCUBAPRO wrist dive computer that uses the most powerful processor in conjunction with our advanced predictive multi-gas algorithm. The wireless heart rate integration feature is also a first in a wrist-top dive computer. Our R&D team and SCUBAPRO test divers have tested Meridian to the extremes, and I am happy to have personally led and participated in that process. We have conducted a various array of tests in extreme environments around the world, including TECHNICAL dives to 100m, CAVE dives with run time exceeding 15 hours and APNEA dives of over 120 meters. It’s a real pleasure to introduce this rugged and stylish computer to our SCUBAPRO family of precision instruments.”

INSTRUMENTS INSTRUMENTS

IN ADDITION TO THE CORE SCUBAPRO FEATURES, GALILEO FAMILY HAS THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS

The Galileo Sol is our ultimate dive computer, with many unique-to-the-industry features.

• Extra large dot matrix display and huge memory: can store pictures, tables, tissue loading status and the most recent 100 hours of diving with a 4 second sampling rate.

• Oil-filled technology that allows a slim design with an extra large display. This is also the reason why the Galileo is rated to a depth of 330m.

• A Hoseless gas integration when used with optional transmitter that gives tank pressure and true remaining bottom time (RBT). It also allows the air consumption to be taken into account into the decompression calculation. Monitors up to 4 transmitters.

• Displays a continuously updated average depth which can be reset by the diver at any time.• The exclusive integrated Heart Rate Monitor senses your effort, incorporates it into the workload

calculation and then adapts the decompression algorithm. The result is safer diving, because each diver is unique, because each dive location and situation is different (upgradeable option on the Galileo Luna).

• Full tilt digital compass with bearing memory that provides you with a powerful navigational system that remains accurate regardless of inclination.

• Impressive personalization options: screen display (light, classic or full), menus, alarms and warnings in language of your choice, and much more.

• Sol and Luna+PMG can be upgraded with our Trimix algorithm via internet.

The Galileo Luna model is everything you need for an extraordinary underwater experience. Luna contains all core SCUBAPRO technology and all features of the Sol except two, which can be added as optional upgrades later (Heart Rate Monitor and Predictive Multi-Gas).

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER, UWATEC R&D TEAM (SWITZERLAND)

“The development of our Galileo computer line was really the beginning of a new chapter in our history of dive computer creation. With Galileo, plenty of new ideas were introduced, including the proprietary heart rate monitor option, allowing the workload calculation to take into account actual blood circulation.Galileo’s full tilt compass, for extreme precision no matter what your position and an incredible maximum depth rating of up to 330m make it unique. However the main goal with Galileo was to allow its configuration the utmost in flexibility, able to fulfill the various needs of different types of divers all over the globe. And the result is Galileo’s large graphic display choice, supporting multiple languages and screen layouts to adapt to the diver’s preferences. Galileo’s success is ongoing.”

AIR 2

A commercial diver surveying factory in-flow pipes in California, a marine biologist conducting research for the Smithsonian, an IMAX filmmaker preparing a documentary, a police officer searching the lakes of Bavaria or a dive instructor teaching in Okinawa: professionals rely on our buoyancy control devices.

The first ‘Stabilising BC’ was born at SCUBAPRO, following the advice of a salesman suggesting we make a wrap-around version of our recently released and very successful back flotation jacket. The new STAB jacket, appearing in the 1978 catalogue, combined a heads-up flotation position with the diving ease of a back flotation back pack, for unequalled stability regardless of position. This jacket concept continues today identifiable under the Master and Classic names. We continue to invest and develop the highest quality patterns, fabrics, hardware fixtures and manufacturing methods, including innovative textiles and styling for total comfort and good looks, including Front Adjustable, Back Flotation and very in demand lightweight Travel BCs.

THREE TYPES OF SCUBAPRO BCS

Back Flotation BCSThe air bladders are positioned on either side of the tank, rather than under your arms or over your shoulders. Although the unique balance takes some getting used to, many experienced divers move to these BCs to gain more freedom of movement and reduce drag. The back flotation harness also carries the load better for greater diving comfort on long or repeated dives, even with twin tanks.

Front-Adjustable BCSFront-adjustable BCs combine ease of use with stability above and below the water, which makes them the most popular type of compensator today. Whatever suit you decide to wear for your dive, your front-adjustable jacket will always fit you perfectly. Quick-release adjustable shoulder buckles make it easy to put on and take off. The BC wraps comfortably around your waist when inflated.

Most SCUBAPRO BCs have integrated weight systems in front and some also have counterweight pockets on the backside making weight belts unnecessary. The jackets are also equipped with convenient instrument and accessory pockets or attachment points. All our BCs can accommodate either a Balanced Power Inflator (BPI) or an Alternate Inflator Regulator (AIR 2) and come with two dump valves, a hose pull dump system and our SQAP (Safe and Quick Air Pin) system that lets you dump air directly at the shoulder valve.

BCS

Weight Pockets New

X-Black and X-Force feature new weight pockets with a plastic backing, making them more rigid when filled and thus easier to insert and pull out. This new design uses a standard buckle for a sure hold and fast access in case of emergency release.

Dump Valves New

The classic SCUBAPRO dump valves have been redesigned to increase the air passage cross-section by 15% for better reaction. We have also added a stronger thread and the dump system is lower profile, for less bulk. The lanyard knob is now easier to grasp and pull thanks to its new shape.

BPI and Elbow New The Balanced Power Inflator has been updated with a streamlined and more ergonomic design. The inflation button is easier to locate and requires less effort. A soft mouthpiece has been added. The corrugated hose features a new, easier to use SQAP (Safe and Quick Air Pin) lever and a new connection between hose and elbow valve.

EVERFLEX 3 MM

It’s easy to say and difficult to do: protect. Our environment needs protection and so do divers, as we explore the various waters around the globe. Protection from almost freezing zero+ oceans and lakes, repetitive dives in temperate or warm waters, equatorial sun rays and painful jelly fish. Where and how you dive and your desired comfort level determines how much protection you need. It’s your choice.

In 1996 SCUBAPRO introduced the Layers Z concept, offering different thicknesses and pieces that could be comfortably combined for more or less thermal body protection. We even proposed a TPF (Thermal Protection Factor) number on the sleeve of each piece, making the chosen wetsuit a calculated one.

Along with free choice comes responsibility and in addition to the various models, forms, materials, seals, and closures we have applied to our suits throughout the years, we also consider our environment. P.A.H. (Polycyclic Aromatic Hyrocarbons) are found in many things including petroleum based products, and can be toxic in certain compounds. X-Foam, now used in all of our wetsuits, is the only formula which complies to very strict P.A.H. test requirements. We are very encouraged to be able to offer this neoprene blend in order to better protect both our divers and our seas.

SUITS

DRYSUITS AND SEMI-DRY SUITS

Drysuits are designed to keep cold or polluted water out. To meet different needs, SCUBAPRO offers:

Neoprene drysuitsA drysuit made of high-density neoprene is as comfortable as a wetsuit and keeps you warm and watertight in cold water. This is the ideal suit for recreational divers wanting an easy-to-put-on and easy-to-wear drysuit. It can be used with or without undergarments.

Semi-dry suits A semi-dry suit is mid-way between a drysuit and wetsuit. It is close-fitting like a wetsuit, meaning less drag and swimming effort than a bulkier dry suit. Although not completely sealed like a drysuit, it has a semi-waterproof zipper and double seals at the neck, wrists and ankles to keep the entry of cold water to a minimum.

TIZIP MASTERSEAL®

TIZIP® MasterSeal is made from high-strength fabric, coated with thermoplastic polyurethane. The extra-strong plastic teeth keep the water sealing edges tight together when the zipper is closed. The TIZIP® MasterSeal slider is made from a salt water resistant metal compound, making it resilient to corrosion. The slider movement is contact-free, meaning it does not rub on the zipper tape or sealing edges, causing less wear & tear.

TIZIP® MasterSeal zip keeps water out, yet its non-rigid, flexibility guarantees the best in dry comfort.

WETSUITS

Wetsuits are designed for diving in temperate waters. The materials used provide the necessary thermal insulation. Although water can enter the suit, it does not cause excessive heat loss because it is warmed by the body and cannot easily circulate or escape if the suit fits properly.

Extreme flexibility and freedom of movement Our Everflex neoprene material gives wetsuits the best mix of stretch and endurance. Everflex suits will always provide an excellent fit (as comfortable as tailor made suits) and total freedom of movement thanks to multi-thickness panels. The suits are extremely easy to put on thanks to an incredibly soft and stretchy inside lining.

Thermal Protection RatingThermal protection depends on neoprene thickness, material used for lining and seal construction. Ratings listed are regardless of the thickness.

DISCOVERPeople dive for different reasons. Some like the rush of the deep, some the relaxation of silence, some are just crazy about fish and wildlife, but the undisputable element in diving is ‘discovery.’ You can’t escape it. And it’s the power of your fins that will get you to your unforgettable find and the mask that lets you admire the ever changing beauty.

Masks, fins and snorkels are standard fare in 2013. But 50 years ago choices were limited and color possibilities less attractive. SCUBAPRO engineers focused on making this product family just as technical as the others and continue to do so. The Jet Fins were discovered by founders Gustav Dalla Valle and Dick Bonin, perfected and marketed in the U.S. in 1965. This rubber fin continues to be a SCUBAPRO hero and huge worldwide seller in commercial and military markets. SCUBAPRO made the first silicone mask at a time when it was only known as ‘Silly Putty,’ a kid’s toy, and sold it as ‘hypo-allergenic.’ Our recent award winning Seawing Nova fins use Monprene® and are already a successful must-have.

Innovation of these very essential products has been carried on throughout decades thanks to research, the development of new materials and modern production techniques.

ESSENTIALS

FINS

They are three main criteria to be considered when choosing a fin: power, efficiency and kick style. The first two are largely related to design characteristics, which will in turn dictate the kick style that should be used to obtain the maximum benefit from that design.

Blade versus split design Blade fins are more efficient but often more physically demanding. However vents and pivot control ribs provide more flexibility on blade fins to obtain maximum performance with less effort. Split fins are extremely flexible and are less strenuous to use than blade fins, however they require a very different kick style to control the propeller-like movement of the split blades.

Articulated fins

Instead of the gradual curve of a traditional fin, articulated fins have a joint (like the tail of a whale or dolphin) that allows the blade to pivot. This technology maintains the power, acceleration and maneuverability of an efficient blade fin with limited fatigue. The entire blade now generates effortless thrust.

Adjustable versus Full-Foot

Adjustable fins are easy to put on and provide a perfect fit. Worn with booties, they are perfect for shore dives or when you need to walk with your equipment.

Full-foot fins can be worn on bare feet or with neoprene socks. They are less strenuous to use because your ankles are not restrained by boots. They are often used as rentals and when boat diving, as well as for snorkeling and warm water diving..

Foot pocket design

Foot pockets may be of closed or open toe design and come wide variety of sizes. Footpockets made of harder materials are more stable, but softer materials are more comfortable.

ESSENTIALS

MASKS

SNORKELS

Masks let you see underwater by creating an air space between the water and your eyes. The mask must fit properly to be comfortable and to create a watertight seal. The peripheral vision of a given mask style is determined by its shape and volume, the color of the silicone and the number of lenses.

The silicone skirt should be soft for your comfort and also provide a good seal. Transparent skirts let in more light but divers who need to focus on individual objects (e.g. such as photographers or surveyors) may prefer black skirts.

Single lens masksSingle and side windowed masks offer a wide field of vision. Frameless versions are designed with the lens closer to your eyes for even better vision and smaller volume. Magnifying lenses can be used on top of the mask lens if needed.

Twin lens maskTwin lens masks are usually low in volume, close to the face, and offer good peripheral vision. They are also easier to clear. Twin lenses can sometimes be replaced with corrective lenses.

Ultra clear lensStandard glass has a slight green tint, resulting from impurities that do not have a big influence on vision but can distort true colors and reduce light transmission through the glass under low light conditions. SCUBAPRO ultra clear lenses offer exceptional clarity together with brighter vision underwater.

TrufitMasks with TRUFIT have a super comfortable, unique, sillicone skirt. The SCUBAPRO Trufit mask skirt has been specially designed with contoured interior ribs. This concept provides a real ‘universal’ fit, meaning perfect seal and comfort for a huge variety of face shapes and sizes.

A well-designed snorkel should feel invisible, letting you breathe easily and naturally. Elliptical barrels allow unrestricted breathing, cut through the water with very little resistance and are easy to clear. The mouthpiece should be comfortable and conform to your bite. Most SCUBAPRO snorkels include a purge valve to help clear the tube.

MAKO TITANIUM

It may sound superficial, unnecessary. But ‘accessory’ products are important and emphasize SCUBAPRO philosophy: incorporate quality in everything we do; always consider customer support and the betterment of the diving experience. Accessories enhance your diving experience, and we offer a full range, only a few of which are represented herein.

The knife is the iconic accessory, visible in our catalogues and ads even in the 1960’s. A legend circulates that once a SCUBAPRO knife was found on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, off the Coast of Southern California. The ‘finder’ noticed a serial number engraved, took it to SCUBAPRO and they were able to locate the diver who lost it. Now that’s customer service. And the Stainless Steel knife was in perfect condition, compared to the rusted shotgun that was found next to it. We are the first to make titanium knives, which are absolutely non-corrosive and lightweight.
