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.

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 XTX200 & XTX40 Regulator Set Din

The XTX 200 is second only to the Black Sapphire and quite rightly enjoys its position towards the top of the Apeks regulator range. The definitive blend of style and high performance, every detail on this product has been carefully designed to offer a regulator of the highest quality.

The XTX40 Octopus provides the same features and performance as the XTX40 second stage and includes left /right-hand reversibility. It comes with a high-visibility yellow front cover and a 36” yellow hose. It is suitable for cold water use (below 10 C / 50 F).

Apeks XTX200 Regulator Features

First Stage:

• FSR style first stage.
• Highly polished bright chrome plating.
• Compact one-piece body.
• 4 angled medium pressure ports, 4 x 3/8” UNF.
• 2 angled high-pressure ports, 2 x 7/16” UNF.
• Optional 5th port.
• Removable ARCAP valve seat.
• 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 ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
• An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber, thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out.

Second Stage

• The pneumatically balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing.
• The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used – press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the centre for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
• The large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip, which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation.
• Easy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in control.
• The second stage is manufactured with active protection against infection as all molded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mould, yeast and algae.
• A silicone exhaust valve improves the regulator’s breathing performance.
• The Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw fatigue.
• A heat exchanger (patented) which surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water.
