Aqualung Legend vs Scubapro?

[buddhasummer]

It's low parts count and relative simplicity are what makes it special for me.

I remember when I was using a MK25 I needed a longer BC hose with lp side down.

Script upside down? Nooooo...

@shurite7 might know about the new kit. As for tools, you need a good way to torque the diaphragm clamp. It's not just "metal to metal" like the FSR. Apeks has the advantage there. There is a special socket...

Poo, now it's in my head again, see what you've done. I'll not sleep tonight pondering.

I might order both kits to compare if no one can answer the question.

Make sure that will also tighten the main diaphragm. You can hand tighten the environmental diaphragm, but I think the main one is different.

@rsingler does the MK19 require any specialised tools? And do you know if there is any difference, other than price, between a service kit labelled MK17/MK19 and a new kit labelled just M19?

i haven’t seen a stand alone Mk19 kit. I’ve only seen the Mk17/Mk19 kits.

Yes, there are two specialty tools needed. I can’t remember what they are or remember the price. I haven’t looked to see if Scubatools has made them or not.

Looks like "need" this too:

Of no real value but I prefer SCT, I've been there a couple of times, really nice people, husband and wife team. International shipping is much much more reasonable than Scuba Tools.
