regulator suggestions for stage tank

[rjack321]

Thanks for the reply everyone. Just in case im buying new, will the mk11 and mk21 be an ok stage reg? Consider routing too? Match it with c370 or c570? Id prefer it to be balanced

why mk21? I heard they have similar internals as mk 25
Why c570? Similar to s600 internals?

Whoever is telling you this has NO IDEA what they are talking about. The mk11 is a sealed diaphram. The mk25 is an unsealed piston. They are both scubapro and regulators, the similarities end there.

g250 is king. G250hp, s600, s550 are also fine. G200b is aight.

What about the obvious....the newer G260?

How does the Dive Rite XT compare?

hi im aware about pistons and diaphragms... i think you're replying to the wrong comment

Am I the only one who absolutely hate the Mk25 (H-75) for stage regs?
I love the H-50 first stages and will never go back to first stages with swiveling turrets ever again for my stages.

why is a turret bad for stage regs?

Mk11 is an unsealed diaphragm...

Mk11 is an unsealed diaphragm...

it sure is an unsealed diaphraghm.. but is this good for stage regulator?

I use them but only on a pony

the MK2 is a more bullet proof reg but the 11 is no slouch.

Not saying they are bad, I just don't like them.
The second stage sits so snugly under the hose on my non-turret first stages.
It did not sit very snugly under the hose on my turreted first stages.

i understand some use mk2. but planning on using em for deco. planning to take up Tdi adv nitrox and tdi decompression procedures.. im going to be spending time breathing on these regs and not just for emergency use. i would want em to be ... balanced hehehe.. i know.. im a luxury diver. whenever i do airsharing drills my buddy is always surprised how "loose" my regulator breathes lol.

ok noted on this one... turrets are expensive... i honestly wana save up on stage bottle regs. but not willing to sacrifice the easy breakthing with mk2
