SCUBAPRO MK11/C370 1st Stage and Regulator Vlog – "User Test & Conclusion" in the Maldives
We were asked by Dave Alexander at Scubaverse to review the new Scubapro MK11 & C370 – a 1st stage and regulator set that is designed for the dive traveller in mind. Our recent trip to the Maldives was a perfect opportunity to do this as we were planning a liveaboard combined with a stay in a resort.
We knew we would have some strong current while on channel dives, and expected to be tight on baggage allowance as we were packing not only divegear, but enough clothes for a week where we’d need clothes!
Have to honestly say I really enjoyed using the reg. It really is the lightest I’ve used and found the design sleek & modern, with the flow of air particularly smooth – almost like I didn’t need to think about breathing to an extent.
Really impressed with the compactness of the 1st stage – so small and light, and very easy to travel with.
The MK11/C370 is a great choice for dive-trekkers!!
I’ve included some technical information below…
MK11 & C370
The balanced diaphragm MK11, with its chrome-plated brass body specially designed to reduce size and weight, is an ideal travel companion. Its system features internal parts that are sealed from the elements.
Simple and reliable, the air balanced C370 delivers consistent airflow, ease of use and dependability, making it just the ticket for recreational divers in general, and dive travellers in particular.
With this regulator system in your divebag you’ll be ready to hit the road!
Technical Information
First Stage
– Air-balanced diaphragm design delivers constant and effortless airflow unaffected by depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate.
– Marine grade brass body has sealed internal parts to prevent water and pollutants from fouling the inner mechanism while enhancing cold-water performance.
– Two high pressure, two low pressure and two high-flow LP ports maximize hose routing options.
– External intermediate pressure adjustment enables technicians to fine-tune performance quickly and easily.
– Weight): INT 232: 710g; DIN 300: 490g
– Airflow at 200bar: (l/min): 5500
– Intermediate pressure: 9.0-9.8 bar
Second Stage
– Air-balanced valve for smooth inhalation effort at varying depths and supply pressures.
– Compact rugged fiberglass reinforced nylon casing and new exhaust tee take up little space in a dive bag.
– Stainless steel frame on the front cover adds the SCUBAPRO C-Series signature.
– The poppet and lever allows the design to maintain the same overall size as the C350.
– The exhaust tee is based on the S620 Ti’s design and contributes to better work of breathing (a 10% improvement over the C350).User controls include a diver-adjustable inhalation effort knob and Venturi-Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA).
– Large purge button is easy to activate, even wearing thick gloves.
– Super-flow hose features an oversized bore that allows more air to flow on each inhalation.
– Compact Hi-Flow mouthpiece improves airflow as well as mouth comfort, fitting all mouth sizes, from smaller to largest.
– Weight: 171g.
– Airflow at 200bar: (l/min): 1600 bar
