<<  Just out of curiosity, doesn't the WKPP use mk20's for stages and 
safeties?
Is this due to having to leave them in the water, having the swivel for
breathing the reg or both or neither?  >>

Kevin:

You are correct.   The following was posted by George earlier this year:

      "For stages, I use the MK20/G250 for deco and safety bottles ... Scuba Pro
is a piston reg that will survive underwater forever (as on a stage or safety
bottle), it has a very high IP, and drives the air balanced 250 ( which also
does well left in the water for extended periods, but not too well out of the
water) well for long durations with minimal cracking pressure, as on a deco
bottle, and swivels for ease of operation on a deco or stage bottle.  When it
fails on such a bottle, it is no big deal since you can control the valve."

Regards,
Tod
