The grey mask (Older standard chemical grade mask) is about the same price. I have not seen any yellow masks here yet.

The MK II reg can be used with surface supplyed air so it works with pressures in the 7 to 15 bar range. The MK II is ok in cold water. But the older AGA Divator 'MK I' (c1973 to c1986) can freezup if water gets to the demand valve. The MK II has a check valve preventing water to enter the demand valve even if the mask is waterfilled. > My two questions to the 'net are a) is the quoted price $1200CAN > reasonable and would it be worth pursuing a similar setup with an EXO-26 > if I can find a similar price (I heard a similar price for an Exo without > comms).
