Few regs offer this kind of breathing performance at such easy-on-the-wallet prices. Both of these breathers earned top honors in this year's reg tests--a Testers' Choice for the MK11/S555 and a Best Buy for the MK11/R395. The compact over-balanced diaphragm MK11 is the engine for both systems. It's a proven performer both on the ANSTI breathing machine and in the water. The main difference between the S555 and the R395 is that the former is pneumatically balanced and the latter is not. This makes the breathing on the S555 less hiccupy in alternate diving positions, but more expensive; the R395 is not as smooth in some dive positions, but cheaper. Take your pick. Either way, you walk away a winner. MK11/R395--$398; MK11/S555--$498. www.scubapro.com.
