Mares MR 22 Abyss, Aqualung Legend LX or Apeks ATX200?

[Tampabay]

I don't know if they put it on the web site yet.. I had my LDS sit with me and showed me the spec's and how good the Legend was... I will ask and see if it's finally posted.
I use the Atomic M1 and the Apek myself, but I did tried the Legend and like it. But I'll stay with my.... Just my 2 Cents. Welcome to the Board


Best Regards, Rey

They all perform near the same. Excellent for deep, and cold. I would take the one that is cheapest and has the best servicability in your area. I am not sure about the Mares, but I know that Apeks/Aqualung has a lifetime parts agreement.

That's a good point. Serviceability... need to check that issue out. Point taken. Thanks.

The Abyss comes with lifetime parts as well. You just have to have an authorized Mares Warranty Center do the work...

Incidently the Zeagle regs are also copies or at least based on and very similiar to the Apeks.

I use the original

Apeks used to make regs for zeagle before going of on their own, apperantly just to get bought then from aqualung. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with what's going on in the product game.

We have had our MR22 Abyss's to 100 feet and they were flawless. We love them. We have the Proton Octo with ours. You gotta love a product where the annual service book contains something like 27 years worth of pages.

One more mpoint that I don't think has been aforementioned. If you are a newer diver or one that prefers not to deal with knobs and venturis take the Mares as they give you the performance with minimal technicalities...
