Apeks MTX-R Regulator

Fellas are we pretty divers, or are we divers? I've got two coming, and I'll gladly be twice as ugly

I'll gladly order the spare parts for anyone looking to add the cracking adjustment . We're an aqualung /apeks dealer and spare parts don't have a map either.. send your second stage to me if you wish I'm trained

Guess I won't be diving with you anytime soon...LOL.

But do let us know how you like the performance - just to satiate curiosity.

If Aqualung wants to increase the market share of Apeks. The answer is very simple: make the spare parts readily available and introduce the service course to anyone by its authorized dealers/tec.

I would love to replace all my heat exchangers on my Apeks 2nd stages(x 6).

At the moment I am waiting on a exact date for service course at my LDS. I am not an employee, so I guess I does happen in some parts of the world. Spare parts will be available after the course, no questions asked.

Any further thoughts on this regulator? I'm especially interested in HP port angles on sidemount configuration. It seems to me that manometers would be 'going" away from diver contour.

Handled one at my LDS. It's not as ugly "in the flesh".

Really keen to hear if it uses the same service kits as the rest of the range, save flight and if it requires any special tools. I read somewhere that it was "field serviceable" .

I've just resigned from purchasing this reg for my SM configuration. Some of the tanks I use are disassembled from twin sets - and therefore turret would be impossible to rotate becouse of nearby DIN port. Pic related:

My soprassub minerva has way more space beetwen turret and DIN Port.

Just want to share this if any sidemount colegue is thinking about this requlator.

Do the side mount packaged xtx50's fit better ?

They are the same XTX 50's, so they can't rotate 360º. But I don't find this to be a problem.
