Why Portland? 

We’re located on the Isle of Portland (in Dorset) because Portland has been one of the most popular scuba diving locations in the United Kingdom even before we set up operations here back in the year 2000.

On one side, we’re minutes away from the sheltered waters of Portland Marina and Harbour, while on the other, it’s just a brief walk to reach our famous scuba diving destination, Chesil Cove and Chesil Beach.  

Portland’s location makes it ideal for scuba diving, freediving, snorkelling and other water sports activities.

Alongside dive clubs, many instructors and dive schools travel here to train and offer scuba diving certification ranging from open water diver to mixed-gas tech diving or rebreather diving levels.

Whether you’re doing a boat dive from Portland Marina or Castletown or a shore dive at Chesil Cove, Portland is well known for offering many possibilities: Reef diving to wreck diving and night diving, underwater photography or underwater videography. Anything other than cave diving is possible here.

Likely being the best-stocked diving shop in the UK, at Underwater Explorers we offer in-store scuba diving equipment advice and sales, as well as gas fills, to locals and visitors (read About Us).

But... If you’re googling “scuba diving shop near me” like some, look no further, there's DirDirect online.

Here at DirDirect, we list our cutting-edge equipment for worldwide delivery and we’ve got you covered whatever your level of diving: We’re your local dive store wherever you are in the world.

All that with over 20 years of experience especially in technical diving, from training to equipment, advice and sales.

The premium Scubapro MK25 EVO A700 Carbon Black Tech regulator is not only the best-breathing reg in Scubapro’s line but also the leader in advanced design and materials.

Scubapro MK25 EVO A700 Carbon Black Tech is a race car sleek, battle tank tough

Like the original A700 second stage, the A700 Carbon's casing is full metal to take advantage of the extremely high heat exchange rate, making this second stage a great choice for cold-water diving.

However, 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 which can change shape when dropped or struck against a hard object, carbon fiber can resist substantial shocks without damage.

Performance-wise, the A700 Carbon retains the same muscular performance as the all-metal A700. Its air-balanced valve technology and oversized exhaust valve work with a well-designed sectional exhaust tee, a first-rate purge and responsive user controls to create a tech-tough breather with effortless inhalation and an ease of exhalation that is unmatched. It's now just lighter and tougher.

The A700 Carbon is teamed with the MK25 EVO, widely considered the gold standard in first stage performance. This air-balanced flow-through piston design delivers consistent and effortless airflow, regardless of depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate. With its ultra-freeze-resistant Extended Thermal Insulating System (XTIS) the MK25 EVO offers excellent thermal insulation by fully isolating the mechanical elements of the first stage from the cold, all without compromising breathing performance.

Finishing off this premium air delivery system is a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Black Tech coating applied to the first and second stages. This unique coating not only lends a sleek technical look to the system, its scratch- and corrosion-resistant properties perform an important function in protecting the reg against the strains and stresses of technical diving and the ravages of the saltwater environment.

Put it all together, and you have the Scubapro MK25 EVO A700 Carbon Black Tech Regulator, diving's ultimate muscle reg, built with high-tech materials and sporting race-car-sleek styling. It looks great, is ultra-durable, and delivers the best breathing performance around.

MK25 EVO A700 Carbon Black Tech Regulator includes

  • Scubapro A700 Carbon Black Tech second stage
  • Scubapro MK25 EVO Carbon Black Tech second stage
  • Scubapro High-flow regulator hose

A700 Carbon Black Tech 2nd stage

Hand-made carbon fiber front cover, metal casing and metal valve housing (barrel) make for a rugged second stage able to withstand years of aggressive diving.

Carbon fiber is virtually bulletproof and also extremely lightweight. The A700 Carbon's cover weighs only 10 grams, compared to the 42-gram weight of the original A700's metal cover, resulting in more comfortable diving.

DLC Black Tech coating protects from corrosion and scratches and lends a technical look to the regulator.

Special Torx cover screws are able to support a higher tightening torque without damage.

Metal case construction enables the use of a larger diaphragm inside a compact casing, increasing breathing sensitivity.

Air-balancing smoothes out the inhalation effort when diving at varying depths and supply pressures.

User controls include a diver-adjustable inhalation effort knob and coaxial Venturi-Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA) switch.

Super-flow hose features an oversized bore that allows more air to flow on each inhalation.

Ultra-comfortable orthodontic mouthpiece is easy to grip yet doesn't inhibit airflow.

  • Weight (without mouthpiece): 8.0oz/228g
  • Airflow at 2900psi/200bar: 2000 l/ min - 71 SCFM

MK25 EVO Carbon Black Tech 1st stage

Air balanced flow-through piston in a Black Tech-coated brass body provides constant and effortless airflow unaffected by depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate.

DLC Black Tech coating protects from corrosion and scratches and lends a technical look to the regulator.

Patented XTIS (Extended thermal Insulating system) fully insulates the inner mechanism from the environment, improving cold-water resistance by 30% and delaying ice formation in extreme cold-water conditions without compromising breathing performance. 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.

Anti-freeze protection radically increases breathing reliability when diving in the most extreme water temperatures.

Two opposing high pressure ports allow the first stage to be positioned either up or down.

Five high-flow low pressure ports on a swivel turret maximize hose routing options.

External intermediate pressure adjustment enables technicians to fine-tune performance quickly and easily.

DIN version comes with a new dual-compound wheel that features a new ergo shape and soft grip on a rugged black nylon frame.
  • Weight: INT 232 790g; DIN 300 570g
  • Airflow at 2900psi/200bar: (l/min/ SCFM): >8500/301
  • Intermediate pressure (psi/bar): 133-142/9.2-9.8

DIN or A-clamp first stage?

Most of our divers prefer DIN fitting on the 1st stage regulator. A DIN regulator has a threaded post which screws into the inside of a DIN tank valve and has no additional metal or braces that run behind the valve. This, together with the position of its o-ring, creates a more secure seal on the tank.

YOKE (or A-Clamp) 1st stages have an oblong metal brace that completely encircles the tank valve when in place and is screwed down on the tank valve when the yoke screw is tightened.

Both regulators seal to the scuba tank through an o-ring where the o-ring on a Yoke valve is in the tank valve itself as opposed to DIN regulators with their own o-ring.

DIN fittings are commonly accepted as more secure, but Yoke valves are common throughout North America and recreational tourist destinations. A DIN regulator can be adapted to Yoke valves by using an A-clamp adapter for travel.
