I confirm that the conversion is easy and with no risks at all (at least on Apeks), but I always hoping to find cylinder valves having the possibility to convert from A-Clamp to DIN just removing the inner part ... so I bring with me a lightweight adapter just in case the conversion is...

Some adapters are lighter and, for people like me, having DIN and flying where the cylinders have A-Clamp valves, weight can be a concern. I bought a lightweight alloy scubapro din adapter paying not more than 50$ a couple years ago. For comparison purposes, the Apeks adapter (should be...

DGX sells both plastic and aluminium buckles. Same for d-rings: you can get Al ones. I use on my lightweight setup Al buckle and d-rings. Did you also check for lightweight cam straps ? Can you use just one instead of two ? (I'm sticking with two). I tried also soft BP, but sooner went back to...

Generally speaking: 1) bungee are faster to don and doff with different types of wet and dry suits 2) If appropriately routed, the bungee gives a "strap redundancy" meaning that if one breaks, the other one saves the instruments - this do not applies with standard straps 3) bungee are less...

Yes I'm talking of it and in my case it helped. I twist a bit the rubber long hose if it takes a kink and the swivel help to avoid torsion to be transferred to my mouth.

I have rotating 2nd stage with 210cm rubber hose. If I remember well the swivel hose connection is in every apeks 2nd stage and yours are apeks ! When you chenged the original hose for the long one did you probably left the swiveling part attached to the old hose ? I don't even notice if the...

Hoping you could have a new pack not too expensive and let we know the (happy) ending.

Isn'it a SUEX ? Why not drop a mail to them, probably you can obtain more info. If you are lucky you could adapt one of the new battery pack to the out of production DPV.

Do you have a rotating attachment on the second stage ?

SS Backplate adds 2 Kg, then there are weights for single tank adapter (soft or rigid) Then weight belt or weight harness

Yes it is a single-thread spiral. But it should not require so much force to open or close. I am not asserting it *MUST* be open underwater (even if someone wants it) but I like to open and close it without any tools even with a bit of force with dry and not slipping hands.

light retainer and ACB are not compatible, you can have only one. The quick adjust (cinch) does not accidentally move when you wear the BCD.

I found on the XTX series after 2014 that the threaded section of the cover has a dent. I believe it acts as a stop. There is no confirmation on that apart I feel a slight "stop" in the correct position. For sure I could force past it, but I never had any reason to go further.

When they are new it requires a lot of torque to realign the cover and it is best done using the devoted tool from apeks (it goes into the recess of the purge button). I also noted that the latest models since 2014 (yes the ones from the OP) are not very precise in the cover threads and sometime...

From your last post I understood you are looking for a narrow (not wide) mask. Did you try some models designed for women - they have often narrower faces - and you don't need to buy in pink or other fancy color: they are also black or transparent. Then for sure there are mask sold in two sizes...

Use a spanner - the bolts have friction in order to not unscrew incidentally. In case the friction should fade out - if you screw and unscrew many times - replace it using loctite threadlocker. The bolts just have to engage a number of threads, they do not need to be snug. Having a bit of...

Are those: O-rings for Suunto C8-D4i-D4 & Oceanic - Premium O-rings Provider isnt'it ?

I suppose the question is for the OP. And on his behalf (hoping he'll forgive me) I'd say that it depends on how many kilos (lbs) there were in the pocket he lost. Supposing at the end of the dive, with an empty tank and 2-3 Kilos too positive (4 - 6 lbs) could be a problem to stay down doing...

same for me.

Why not Perenthian ?
