SHERWOOD BLIZZARD PRO
$655.99
THE SHERWOOD BLIZZARD has been a standard for divers in cold waters for the last 30 years. It has been the “go to” regulator for many Public Safety Dive Teams around the country because of its reliability in the colder waters and for its ease of service. In the summer of 2016 SHERWOOD introduced the new BLIZZARD PRO. The new unit has proven to be as reliable in all environments. With a completely new Valve Design, the new Blizzard Pro comes with improved breathing performance and enhanced cosmetics.

1st stage: The T-shaped design reduces regulator profile when mounted on tank minnimizing opportunity to make contact with the back of the head.
To keep the internal parts of the BLIZZARD PRO free from dirt, that can cause it to malfunction, it is completely environmentally sealed. The piston/spring chamber is surrounded by a membrane. This membrane doesn't move the piston like a diaphragm design 1st stage would, it's purpose is solely to seal the chamber without using sticky grease or oils while allowing the air pressure inside the chamber to adjust according to the ambient pressure, thus adjusting spring tension and creating a balanced 1st stage. A pneumatically balanced regulator ensures you get the same amount of air delivered whether you are at 3,000 psi or 500 psi thus improving the diving experience.
Our personal note: all SHERWOOD regulators except the SR2 have the same 1st stage.
2nd stage: The BLIZZARD PRO features a Dual Vane System for moisture retention. The lower vane is solid while the top vane has 5 moisture capturing vents. The moisture is captured between the two vanes and upon inhalation the moisture returns to your mouth.
The injection molded thermoplastic rubber seat is harder than silicone seats and maintains its shape and does not coin as deeply.
An anodised aluminium heat sink helps to prevent freezing. A large co-molded mouthpiece uses two different silicone compounds and colors to reduce jaw fatigue.

SCUBAPRO MK2 EVO/R195
$679.99
- This is a good entry-level reg for medium to warm water temperatures. It is a proven and reliable reg system, easy to maintain, easy to use and easy on the budget.
1st stage: The MK2 EVO is a downstream piston-style first stage. It comes with SCUBAPRO's patented Extended Thermal Insulating System (XTIS) fully isolating the mechanical elements of the first stage from the cold and hereby increasing freezing resistance by an average of 50 percent over the previous MK2 first stage.
A new spring insulating bushing and coating, insulating piston bushing, insulating sleeve and a new antifreeze cap contribute to the increase in freezing resistance.
Its body is 3.5mm smaller than its predecessor but houses an oversized piston by 1.6mm that provides better breathing performance by increasing airflow by 15 percent.
2nd stage: The R195 combines a classic downstream valve with a large diaphragm, functional purge button and VIVA switch for smooth and easy operation. It is a robust and reliable entry-level 2nd stage with reversible hose attachment. -

SCUBAPRO MK25 EVO/A700
$1,689.99
- The MK25 EVO/A700 combination is the best-breathing regulator in SCUBAPRO's line!
1st stage: Since its release in 2004 the MK25’s quickly made it to the very top of piston design regulators. It is very durable, reliable and delivers extra-high and effortless airflow, regardless of depth, tank pressure or breathing rate. Since 2016 the MK25 benefits from another substantial upgrade, SCUBAPRO's patented Extended Thermal Insulating System (XTIS), giving the reg its new name: MK25 EVO. The system let’s you enjoy all the advantages of an MK25 - regardless of how cold the water is! The XTIS makes this possible by fully isolating the mechanical elements of the first stage from the cold, increasing its freezing resistance 30 percent over the - already very freezing resistant - prior MK25 without compromising breathing performance. The key insulation system components are visible in blue.
New spring insulating coating, body insulating bushing, anti-freeze cap, bigger body and cap thread all work in concert with the XTIS to improve cold-water performance.
The MK25 EVO features a swivel turret with five high-flow LP ports (high flow ports deliver about 15 percent more air than conventional low pressure ports). It also has an external intermediate pressure adjustment that allows technicians to maintain peak performance without the need for disassembly.
2nd stage: the A700’s is an air-balanced regulator. Its casing is full metal to take advantage of the extremely high heat exchange rate which makes this second stage such a great choice for cold-water diving. In addition the metal case construction enables the use of a larger diaphragm inside a very compact casing for an ease of exhalation that is unmatched. The air-balanced system provides effortless breathing in any situation. - Designed for cold water diving and Nitrox ready up to 40%

The metal case construction enables the use of a larger diaphragm inside a very compact casing for an ease of exhalation that is unmatched.
The screw-down front cover, in place of metal, is hand-made out of carbon fiber - the same material you find on aircraft and high-speed race cars. Carbon fiber is extremely lightweight and, unlike metal that can change shape when dropped or struck against a hard object, carbon fiber can resist substantial shocks without damage.
