Published

on

Apeks have released the following new products:

MTX-R Sidemount Set

The MTX-R sidemount set is a super tough, rugged, high performance, go anywhere sidemount regulator configuration designed to meet the rigours of cold water and extreme sidemount diving. Highly reliable and easy to service out in the field, this is the ideal choice for expedition and exploration divers.

First stages
  • Over balanced for superior performance.
  • Compact environmentally sealed diaphragm system completely eliminating the maintenance issues associated with silicone, oil or grease filling.
  • Recommended for frequent use in cold or contaminated water.
  • Environmental over-moulded endcap & diaphragm that helps prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage free flow in extreme circumstances. Also protects the first stage from impact damage.
  • Double swivel hose for greater freedom of movement and comfort.
  • 5 x 3/8” UNF medium pressure ports & 2 x 7/16” UNF high pressure ports.
  • The 5th 3/8” UNF medium pressure port includes a protective bumper when not in use.

Part No(s): AP0100MTXR (Metric) AP0100MTXRIMP (Imperial)
Price: RRP £1360


60m Lifeline Spool

Inspired by technical diving and versatile enough to be used in a range of diving applications, the new 60m Lifeline spool features easy to grip flared sides to improve deployment and winding.

  • Unique flared design to allow ease of winding whilst wearing gloves and an outer grip for ease of use.
  • A large diameter centre hole for use in cold water whilst wearing gloves.
  • Colour coded to allow ease of identification of each size.
  • High quality, high visibility line.
  • Rugged construction.
  • High tensile line leader to avoid damage to main line when ‘tying off’.
  • Line swivel to prevent line entanglement and twisting.
  • Machined from one piece of aircraft grade aluminium.
  • Anodised coating.
  • Spool is not over-wound, enabling additional line to be added if required.
  • Includes stainless steel bolt snap.
  • Designed and manufactured in the UK.
  • Line is sewn instead of tied to increase strength.
  • Orange line, best for low light conditions.
  • Easy-release pull tabs.
