Any Suggestion on MK25+S600 of the SCUBAPRO Marketing Campaign Set?

[starelf]

I'm an OW newbie of SCUBA diving and have little knowledge about the equipments. In my last diving trip in Phillippines I used 2 rented regulators and both of them somehow leaked. So I decided to prepare my own regulator and other equipments before my next trip.
Now there is a SCUBAPRO marketing campaign in China (I don't know whether it's a global campaign) this month, that the package of MK25+S600+R295+Regulator bag is sold by RMB 3750 (about $ 605). Is there anyone can give some advice about whether it is a good deal? Do you have any comments on MK25 and S600?
Thanks in advance.

Scubapro has changed their line for 2013 in the US, so there were deals recently. A MK25/S600 was being sold from a variety of sources between $400-$450. The R295 would sell for around $100 and the bag $20-30. So from recent US deals it is not all that great, but a good deal from a historical standpoint. The regulator itself is top-of-the-line and you will not find better.

Thank you for your information ams511.
Considering we actually produce a very large percent of global consumer goods, it's ironic to say that Chinese people actually have to pay more expensive prices to get the same product than that in US So $600 seems like a good deal to buy them in China.

The regs are not made in china. 600 isa good deal and the reg is very good.

Mk25/S600 is an excellent regulator. I've got three sets; two for technical diving and one on my single-tank rig. Scubapro are one the easier brands to get spares/repairs/service done globally also..

I can't say enough about the MK25/ S600, I've got 13 of them.

Shipping to China may kill the deal for him.

Can parts be purchased over-the-counter in the Philippines?

Don't ask, just do it!
I've rarely seen the SP law enforced outside of the US.

True enough, didn't factor that in.
