    Why extra air when solo?

    I always try to stay under 20' when solo. Doesn't sound deep, but when you have snorkeled as many years as I have at 20-30', you appreciate being there without having to leave for air, LOL,,,, after all,, depth doesn't make the dive more enjoyable, the locations contents do.

    SP A700 vs APEKS XTX200

    I own both the Apeks XTX 200 with XTX 200 Status and the Scubapro A700 with MK 20... Apeks all day. Breathes easier, smoother. It is a noticeable difference. I will put both 2nd stages on the same tank and go back and forth between the A700 and XTX 200, the Apeks is boss. I also own the...

    Apeks XTX200 Status Regulator

    1st stage APEKS ATX 200 identical to XTX 200 internally?

    So waste of time and money getting the XTX 200 if you already own the ATX 200 then, same quality, same performance and reliability, just a more "stylish" external finish, and minor port change..

    1st stage APEKS ATX 200 identical to XTX 200 internally?

    From what I have seen in the service manuals, the parts kit is the same for both the older ATX 200 as for the XTX 200.. Has anybody had experience using or even servicing older vs newer models?
