The G200B is the exact same regulator as the G250 without the resistance
adjustment. The G200 is an unbalanced second stage where as the G200B and the
G250 are both balanced second stages.

On my opinion, the Mk10/G250 Regulator is the best on the market, bar none. I
even think it's better than the poseiden line since breaths better at depths
below 250 feet.

The resistance adjustment is extremely valuable in high flow diving
environments such as solution caves of N. Florida and wreck diving in Florida.
Adjustment of the reg. allows one to keep the regulator from free-flowing
during entry and decompression.

Question, How Long Have you been diving?

sophisticated design, with a less durable case than the G200/250
(unreinforced nylon vs. graphite/fiberglass-reinforced nylon). All three
regulators come with the ScubaPro lifetime warranty.
I recently purchased a G250/MK10 reg system and am quite pleased with its
performance. I haven't decided how useful the inhalation resistance
adjustment is, though, because I haven't needed to change it from the
position my dealer set it to (about 1/4 turn from full out/minimum
resistance) since I bought it. I've got about 7 dives on it now, so it's
pretty early to tell. Breathing resistance is minimal and freeflows have not
been a problem. I imagine it would be useful during surf entries, but I
don't get to experience those often in the Midwest. ;-)
BTW, check out the optional Hot Frames Regulator Covers for the G200 & 250 -
they're pretty cool. You can even get a mask with the same design to match.
They're a great way to stand out from the other divers on the boat and be
easily recognized underwater.

Now what is that supposed to mean? Just how experienced are you? Are you
EXTREME, or are you just a putz diver? If you were a real man, you would come
diving in a real man's environment, like mixed gas cave diving!

If you were a real man you wouldn't need four inches of neoprene to dive in
72F springs. Wanna come up here and try some mixed gas ice diving? It might be too
EXTREME for you.

I'll have you know, I do not wear four inches of neoprene, I wear SIX. Is that
a problem? I bet you use a dry suit don't you. Dry suits are for wimps who
can't stand a little cold water. Mixed gas ice diving, eh? You're and ice
diver, I assume. Well, as far as i can see, an ice diver is someone who got
scared in a cave because he may have to go below 130 fsw and opted for a less
threatening overhead environment. At least cave divers don't get so excited
that they rip their dump valve clear off! and even if we did, we wouldn't
BOUNCE out of Little River, now would we?

Believe it or not, I use to dive with this guy, He is actually an extremely
good diver. I am just giving him a hard time because he left the area, an area
of extremely advanced divers, to go to work up north. I am just making him
wish he were here.

"Ken's Recipe of the Week!"
Mustard
=======
1 c Mustard Powder (4 oz)
3 fl oz Vinegar
3 fl oz Cool Water
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp honey
Mix until smooth. Pack in air-tight glass jars and store as follows:
Mustard is very hot when first mixed, then mellows with age.
Refrigeration nearly stops the mellowing process. For a hot mustard, age
4 weeks, medium 6 weeks, mild 8 weeks, then move to refrigerator.
Variations
==========
Substitute sugar or maple sugar for honey.
Substitute white wine, cider or balsamic vinegar for vinegar
Add taragon, black or jalapeno peppers.

SIX ***INCHES*** of neoprene. I cannot even comprehend *what* measurement you
are using. This is *HALF A FOOT* of neoprene. You certainly cannot be
talking about thickness - perhaps this is your headband (which is a little too
tight!)...

over 11,000 feet. We call it back country ski diving. The tanks
are heavy but nothing compared to kicking with 210 cm fins on. Oh,
and watch out for cacti.

HEY, I didn't turn my air off, the cave monster did. Of course, being the
exceptional diver that I am, I fought him off with my left hand while turning
my air back on with my right. All this while maintaining perfect trim and
creating absolutly no silt. (-: At least I didn't get left on the surface (I
hope that didn't hurt too much).

If you think that is brave, I drink the water I dive in AS I am diving in it.
The only thing is that I make sure I am diving upstream of my buddy, just in
case he decides to let mother nature take its course.

I was merely trying to point out that not only are the ScubaPro G200/250 regs
great performers, they look cool too.
While I'm not an "extreme" diver (no mixed air air cave diving for me--thanks
anyway), I have been diving for 7 years now. A recent trip to Monterey
rekindled my interest in the sport and now I'm working on my Rescue Diver
certification. When I went out to get new gear, I saw the optional covers in
the ScubaPro brochure and thought "Why not?" (Besides, I talked the dealer
into including the cover at no charge.)
What's wrong with a little underwater style, anyway?

Oh yeah. Well where do you think the water in N. Florida comes from in the
first place? And no, I will _NOT_ submit to dna testing for your water.

How about mixed gas ice diving at night? Now THAT sounds like a real man's

Well, Carl, It just so happens that I do not wear Six Inches of neoprene. If
you had been listening to the whole conversation, you would have seen that
Dirk and I were just kidding. And NO, my headband is Not too tight. It is true
that I wear a lot of neoprene when I use a wetsuit. I get cold When I am
decompressing for more than two hours. Wouldn't you? Or is Decompression
diving beyond your abilities? Just wondering.
