Hi,
Here's a question for all: Any idea why RSD deosn't seem to have reviewed any Apek regs? They seem to have done everything else.

You don't have it on your list but I would highly recommened the Poseidon Jetstream/ODIN. This is a fantastic High Performance reg. Also the exhaust is to the side so as the keep the bubbles out of for face. It is also very very good in cold water AND they have the top rating from the US Navy.

Personaly I love it. Some people hate it though. I haven't seen to many people that are in between on the reg it is either HOT or COLD

It has a bigger mouth peice then most regs which seem to bother alot of people but that is one of the features I like.

Mares Abyss. It's compatable with Nitrox I believe, where as the Ti Planet is not. The ATX 200 is a good one also, but I would get the Abyss.

The Abyss in made out of Titanium which is a class 2 combustible metal. Therefore making in not compatible with O2 Something to think about.

For all the money in the world go with the Apeks any of them!
No gimmicks, just great quality, hard working, easy breathing, low maintenance and durable regs.

Yes..

I think I have pretty much settled on the TX200 with Ds4 first.

I don't know if I've already told you this or not (a dozen or more people have asked me about it), but the ATX200 second stage is virtually identical to the ATX50 second stage. The only significant difference is that the heat exchanger is slightly larger in the 200 (theoretically making it better in cold water).
Also, the octo's are identical to the primaries, other than the yellow faceplates (and the octo's are tuned down a bit -- easy to tune up). The interesting part is that the octo's cost about $60 less than the primaries. A black faceplate should cost less than $20 and, of course, are easy to replace if you wish.

I confirmed all this with Landon over at Apeks. I have an ATX50 octo and DS4 on order right now and intend on changing the faceplate when the part becomes available.

Take care.

Iguana Don,

I would urge you to please do more of your homework before you post somewhat misleading and incorrect information like you did.

The Abyss in made out of Titanium which is a class 2 combustible metal.

What should have been stated is the mares abyss regulator CAN be ordered with titanium, which is a class 2 combustible metal. You can still purchase NON-TITANIUM NON-RUBY mares abyss regulators.

Hi LY...

Thanks again for hooking me up. It looks like I am ordering a TX200 w/ Ds4. I just decided to pop a few extra $$ to say I got the best of the best (probably a waste of $$ as you have said), but could not resist. I'm ordering with somewhat standard hose lengths... and will pick up a longer 5-7 footer later.

Still waiting to hear back from him though.

So if you go diving with a titanium regulator. Take a fire extinguisher.
