WHat specifically are you looking for? Regs, BPW, Drysuit, Lights, etc.?

How long is a piece of rope??

What type of diving are you planning on doing??

Other than the Regs what other dive gear is made by Apeks?

Backplates, wings, computers, watches, valves, masks... quite a lot of stuff these days

My guess would be the OP is asking about BP/W but it would help if he provided some more info

I really need to get out a little more often, I've only known them as Aqualungs upscale Regs.

Aqualung don't even distribute their full range of regs in the US - there's a lot more Apeks product available in EU markets

Apeks Products

Some stuff is just Apeks branded like the watches & computers (Seiko) but a lot of it is in-house design and/or build

Sorry for the brief description. Truthfully as to exactly which aspect of technical diving, I am unsure. I wanted a dual tank system with quality components that I could also run side mounts off of. Other then the computer the reg/bc is the most costly and for good reason. I was just trying to see what general opinion was.

 

[FWADIVER]

you arent going to get a very good use backmount and sidemount dual system, they are 2 different animals.

Apeks XTX50s for the regs and the WTX6 or 6R (if you're not using a drysuit).

However I am extremely biased


EDIT: Forgot BP. Aluminium BP if you're diving a wetsuit, Steel if not.

As for harnesses. I've got a 1-piece, and to be honest they aren't all they're cracked up to be. Honestly I'd recommend a harness with clips. As soon as this one goes I'm moving back to harness with releases.
