    apeks wsx 45 for short people

    I tried looking for size information of the Apeks wsx 45 wing before purchase but could not find any dimensions posted online. As a short and slim person I am worried that the wing will either be too long or too wide making it impossible to wear. If you are short and/or slim and have this wing...

    Intermediate pressure lag on Scubapro mk20

    I recently purchased a scubapro MK20 that was in excellent condition but also possibly never serviced. The IP is solid at 10 bar however when purging the regulator it takes several seconds to climb up from 9 to 10 BAR. I have never seen this kind of lag before and I have no experience in...

    small freedom plate compatibility with Apeks wing

    I am interested in ordering a freedom plate in size small but I can't figure out if it would fit my existing Apeks wings. I am happy to use it with or without an STA (prefer both options obviously but currently dive my rig with an STA) I understand that the freedom plate in size small has 9.5...

    SMB for light diver

    I have the 6 foot surface marker pro DSMB Surface Marker which is very well built and offers 20 kgs of lift. I am a relatively light diver, I dive a soft plate, aluminum tank (s80) and a 3mm wet suit with 3kgs of lead. No matter how hard I try I cannot keep the DSMB upright on the surface, I...

    Reducing inner diameter of corrugated hose

    I have an Apeks wing with the standard elbow, I replaced the elbow with an aqualung one that has an integrated dump valve but the aqualung elbow has a slightly smaller diameter and hence my corrugated hose doesn't fit snuggly and leaks a bit. Does anyone have a suggestion for reducing the inner...

    Possibly going instructor route, Apeks Black Ice or Backplate & wing?

    I'm currently a PADI DM and most of the diving I do at the moment is as a dive guide/master so I usually have to carry spare weights and sometimes more things like slates or other equipment. I may or may not go down the instructional route in the near future. I currently dive a jacket BCD and...

    Aqualung i450 vs i750

    I've been looking at those two computers as a potential upgrade with AI. I currently work as a dive guide over the weekends in a relatively warm and very sunny location. I need something that is reliable, low maintenance and that will live long with me. The reason I'm considering only these...

    Regulator not delivering enough air

    OK that's not true, the regulator is providing me with enough air, I'm still alive after all but it feels like I'm not getting the same amount of air I would be getting if I breathed through my mouth on the surface without a regulator. I recently bought an Apeks xtx50 regulator and one of the...

    Apeks 2nd stage purge performance

    I have 2 apeks DST first stages each with 2 xtx50 second stages and have noticed that each of the second stages performs differently when depressing the purge button to the side (for a slow purge to inflate bags and the like). 2 second stages attached to one DST release some air when the button...

    DIN wheel on Apeks DST interfering with swivel

    I just bought an Apex xtx50 with a DIN mount and noticed that the DIN wheel is interfering with the swivel and not allowing the the hoses to turn a full 360 degrees. Is this normal?
