Scubapro MK19 EVO BT/G260 Carbon BT DIN Dive Regulator System

Quick answer: This is the premium Black Tech version of Scubapro's MK19 EVO/G260 system: a sealed, cold-water first stage in a DIN 300 bar fitting, paired with a G260 second stage wearing a carbon fiber front cover. It's the same proven breathing as the standard MK19 EVO/G260, with tougher finishes and a lighter second stage.

Why it's worth a look

Bigger divers often breathe more gas, and that makes regulator performance something you feel on every dive. This system keeps airflow smooth and consistent whatever the depth or tank pressure, and the G260's adjustable inhalation knob lets you set the breathing effort where it feels natural to you. The carbon fiber cover trims 24 grams off the standard G260, which means less weight hanging from your jaw over a long dive.

The Black Tech DLC coating on the metal parts is a hard, corrosion-resistant finish that holds up to salt water, rough handling and years of rinsing. If you dive cold quarries, silty wrecks or springs, the environmentally sealed first stage is the reason this regulator family has such a strong following with tech and cave divers.

Before you buy

DIN 300 is a great choice if your tanks are DIN, but most rental tanks at warm-water resorts are still yoke. A DIN-to-yoke adapter solves that, or look at the yoke version of this system. Have it set up and bench-checked by a qualified technician before your first dive, and confirm a local shop services Scubapro.
