The first stage uses an environmentally sealed diaphragm design to help prevent water, silt, and contaminants from entering the mechanism. This supports reliable operation in cold or low-visibility environments, where protecting internal components is important.

The first stage features multiple high- and low-pressure ports, permitting flexible hose routing for various configurations, including octopus and instrumentation setups. Its compact construction supports both travel use and standard recreational configurations.

Hollis Issues Stop-Use Notice for 200LX Second Stage

Hollis has issued a formal Stop Use / Stop Sale notice for certain 200LX second-stage regulators, advising divers to remove affected units from service immediately due to a potential safety risk.

The notice applies to Hollis 200LX + DCX regulator systems and related second-stage configurations purchased between 2 May 2017 and 15 May 2025.

Component concern

According to parent company Huish Outdoors, internal components within some 200LX second stages may separate or fracture, either before or after a dive. The issue centres on the inlet tube assembly, which may lose impact resistance if the regulator is dropped or struck at the adjustable inhalation knob.

The Scubapro MK17 EVO 2 G260 regulator system is built for divers who require durable, high‑performance breathing gear in challenging conditions. Its first stage uses a balanced‑diaphragm design housed in a marine-grade brass body with a fully sealed dry chamber. This environmental sealing keeps water, silt or contaminants out and helps prevent freezing — a vital feature for cold water or silty-water diving.

The second stage introduces Airmatic Technology, a pneumatic valve system that replaces traditional mechanical springs with pressure‑driven operation. This design minimises internal friction and wear, producing very low breathing resistance and a sensation described as highly natural and consistent at all depths and breathing rates.

DynamicNord TR-80 DIN Regulator Review

Sometimes, you can get a feeling for a product just by holding it in your hand, and that was the case here. And the feeling was good...

DynamicNord

DynamicNord’s TR-80 regulator is the “top of the line” in Dynamic Nord’s regulator series of three different models. DynamicNord’s regulators are fairly new to the diving market, and I have never dived with them before. When I unpacked them from the box, I got a sense of quality from how they were made and the choice of materials.
