Is there a good place to buy Apeks gear in the US? Seems all the stores are in the UK. Any help would be appreciated.

SparticleBrane:I would personally avoid buying them from LeisurePro, as you will not get the best warranty.
A post on another forum from Joel Silverstein from TechDivingLimited--
"A note about service. When you buy an Apeks reg from an AUTHORIZED US dealer you get a warranty with parts for life. This may not seem a big deal to some but considering that our operation services more than 600 regulators a year i can tell you that an AquaLung or Apeks reg gets out the door for about $55 bucks and everything else ends up with a big parts bill. We did a poseidon today and it had parts costs of $128.50 -- a Beauchat and the parts were $96. 2 Apeks regs and the parts were free. But only for US authorized dealer transactions. Forget LP and Dive Inn those are Euro imports with ZERO warranty for free parts. "
This means that you'll have to get them in person and not online if you want the actual Apeks warranty.
