Apeks EXOTEC BCD

The Apeks EXOTEC BCD revolutionises diving comfort, functionality and seductive engineering design. The ethos behind Exotec is the synthesis of equipment and diver. Created to fit like no other BCD and flow with the natural movement of the diver’s body through the innovative BioReact articulation.

Constructed with the usual, exacting Apeks build quality, the Exotec is a paradigm of form and function.

Apeks EXOTEC BCD Features

• BioReact articulating waist system for maximum comfort and freedom of movement.
• GripTek fabric keeps the BCD in place both on the surface and underwater.
• The bladder is constructed from super-tough Armoguard slick skin for increased abrasion resistance, faster drying, and reduced bacterial growth risk due to the slick surface.
• Anodised aluminium hardware is both strong and lightweight.
• The new style G hook chest strap and tank retainer allow for one simple-handed operation.
• Three-position height adjustable backplate allows for optimum fit.
• Adjustable waist and shoulders with up to an extra 10cm for waist and 5cm for Shoulders
• Two large pockets can be folded up flat when not in use to reduce drag.
• Wrapture Harness System – Using patented swivel shoulder buckles and a proprietary, ultra-thin backplate, the Wrapture provides unsurpassed comfort and stability. Wrapture prevents the BC from “riding up” on the surface. Out of the water, the Wrapture keeps the cylinder close to your centre of gravity and transfers the weight to your hips. The result is the ability to stand up straight with a cylinder that is perfectly vertical.
• Also has a mounting point for an optional crotch strap that can be fitted (Crotch strap not included)
• Because of the multiple size settings at the top of the shoulders, as well as either side of the waistband, a custom fit can be achieved within the available size ranges.
• SureLock II Mechanical Weight Release System (patented) – provides a safe, single-pull release. Inserting the weight pocket is as simple as inserting and “click”. Once engaged, the only way to release the weight is to pull on the handle. With SureLock, your weights are secure in the BC.
• Two trim pockets are located at the rear of the Surelock weight pocket and can hold up to 2.5kg
• There are four dump valves in all, one in each corner. Three are proprietary flat valves that are very streamlined and effective. The dump valve on the upper left is the rapid exhaust valve found at the top of the Powerline inflator.
• The Powerline inflator assembly boasts one of the fastest inflation rates in the industry. This environmentally sealed unit has integrated clips to keep the 27″ Miflex LP inflator hose tucked in securely.
• A dual bladder retraction system is used to pull in the sides of the bladder during deflation. This keeps the unit streamlined and reduces drag.
• Sizes: XS/S, S/M, M/L and XL/XXL; select from the available options above.
• Weight –  Small/Medium 4.42kg, Medium/Large 4.47kg and X-Large/XX-Large 4.54kg
• Colours – Orange or Grey

Apeks XL4 OCEA Regulator Set 

The Apeks XL4 OCEA Stage 3 Regulator Set Yucca presents a new concept of the regulator to the diving market. One that comes with the inherent build quality and performance shared by all Apeks regulators but has the prime objective of being the first totally sustainably produced regulator available.

Every manufacturing detail has been considered and adjusted to ensure each material and process has been optimized in the pursuit of minimal environmental impact. Our partnership with PlasticBank establishes the Ocea as the world’s first ocean plastic negative regulator.

XL4 OCEA Regulator Features and Benefits

• Recycled polymers made from up to 70% post-consumer waste (black components)
• Bioplastic plastic parts are made from non-petroleum-based sources.
• Trivalent chrome plating uses less harmful chemicals and is kinder to the environment.
• Eco brass is lead-free, easier to recycle and has a higher tensile strength than traditional brass.
• First Stage
• Compact machined first stage based on the expedition tested Apeks DS4 platform.
• Unique over-balanced diaphragm design – as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase faster than the ambient.
• This results in superior performance at depth.
• With 2 HP ports and 4MP ports.
• Second Stage
• The Compact and lightweight second stage improves comfort and helps reduce jaw fatigue on long-duration dives.
• High performance pneumatically balanced lever operated poppet valve.
• Large, over moulded self-flushing and controllable purge button.
• The ergonomic Venturi lever is easy to use and locate.
• Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than a traditional rubber hose.
• Standard metallic hose connection for interchangeability.
• Comfo-bite mouthpiece has a unique bridge that fits across the upper palate and does not require bite pressure to stay in place.
• Re-useable mouthpiece clip makes it simple to change mouthpieces in the field.
• A durable and flexible rubber exhaust tee provides excellent bubble diversion.

Apeks Pressure Gauge

The Apeks submersible pressure (contents) gauge, with an internal Bourdon pressure measuring mechanism, gives you clear information on the gas contents of your cylinder. The gauge indicates the cylinder bottle pressure, and the dial range is from 0 to 360 bar. The dial face is designed with clarity in mind by being uncluttered, with large black figures on a luminous background giving a long phosphorescent effect. This makes viewing as easy as possible, even in poor visibility conditions.

Apeks Pressure Gauge Features:

• The gauge case is made from nickel-plated brass
• The dial window is made of highly shock resistant material (anti-splinter polycarbonate)
• A specially designed housing protects the gauge and HP hose fitting from accidental damage
• A large loop area designed into the housing allows for easy attachment.
• There is an over-pressure capsule fitted in the back of the module to prevent the screen from exploding in the unlikely event of the internal mechanism failing.
