About 2 months ago I spent a few minutes looking at a WTX rig on display at a dive shop in Grand Cayman.
It was fully decked out with every accessary they have. Wow, what a rig. The build quality stood out and it looked like a fine piece of equipment.
As people start getting a look at this thing, a Ranger want look as big anymore.

This is my first post to the forum! This is great as I am getting back in to diving after 12 years! I was looking at this set up and it caught my eye as it seems to offer more freedm of movement. I will mostly be diving in kelp forests in southern california and on wrecks in the great lakes. I wonder if this Apeks WTX Harness set up is too good for me?
Thank you for posting this question!

I recently purchased the WTX BP and 32lbs wing, I am very pleased with it. I decided on the integrated weight pouches. Great fit and finish, can't say enough good things about this BCD.

I took the plunge and bought my Apeks WTX with SS BP last night. I'm going to dive it this weekend, so I'll post my impressions. I too got the weight pockets. Really nice stuff, but I got hammered on price. Bought from my LDS as I wanted to have their expertise and assistance should I want to modify. I got the Air 2 inflator also so that I can get rid of my damned octo.
How did your dive go? I stopped by a local dive shop and checked the system out. Really Nice. I am trying to figure out if I need the wtx harness or just the one piece webbed harness with back plate. I may end upjust using a reglar weight belt until I can purchase the weight pockets. Great idea on the octo. I am planning on doing the same thing.

Hope you know how to use that AIR2 in a OOA situation.........
ShakaZulu:
The WTX 30 wing was not designed to have the Air2 or the more appropriate Air Source attached to it. While it can work. The WTX was designed to use a conventional back up regulator under the chin (hogarthian method) The inflator hose does NOT have a pull dump on it. If you do put one on make sure the dealer changes the corrugated hose to a slightly longer one so that you can get the alt / mouthpiece in your mouth -- the standard one may be too short as it was never designed for it.
(BTW have done about 150 dives on my WTX pack for single tanks and its flawless -- in St. Lucia now this week diving it as well. )
The AquaLung / Seaquest Air Source complete system will thread onto the WTX bladder should you really want to use one.
Cheers
