Awesome reg. Excellect cold water performance. Lots of technical divers use Apeks. I own 3 Apeks regs and haven't had a problem with any of them.

Whatever you do, be sure to check & make sure any online shop does NOT use UPS for international shipping.
UPS has a horribly expensive brokerage fee, it will easily add $50 or more on to whatever you're having shipped.
If they will not ship using the postal system, look for someone that will.

What are you looking for?

Yes Apeks did set a record in 2002. I would check to see if you can get a warranty with it. The only problem with buying online is that you do not get a full warranty with some items. Things like compters do not matter, where as regulator warranties cover your parts. I would look into this. Mares MR22 is also an excellently breathing reg, I would go for the one with the warranty. You mentioned that you friend is selling you the TX100? you are not likely to get a warranty then. Very nice reg though. The only problem i have with the mares is that they need an environmental kit. This helps maintain the reg greatly. Apeks all come with the seal.

My LDs sell the TX100 repair/service kit at high price, I need help in providing me the schmatics part drawing with part number.of the regulator, so I can just order the only part that I need somewhere else. Thanks

I am planning to buy a mares mr22 from them. <dive booty>. they are selling it at $ 293.00. do you know of other online stores that sell this item that are dependable. or even cheaper. I saw something also at ebay, I think it's a little bit cheaper by $30 or so. I would like to go for postal. though it would takes longer before the items arrive. Is it safe? I have purchases lab equipments before using postal and it came from Florida. and the lab equipment came in good condition . But I hav'nt tried to order a reg yet.
Thanks for your reply.

I haven't bought anything from Dive Booty, I don't even know if they stock the stuff themselves or if they just list it for other companies for a % of the sale.
I believe they just do the listing on the stuff & you'd actually be buying from Divers Direct in this instance.
Global Express with the Postal System on a 4 lb package w/$300 insurance would run $34. ( 4 - 7 days delivery time )
Items going to the big cities in the Philippines are very safe, probably safer than shipping to New Jersey
How about a nice US Divers Titan if you're looking for an inexpensive but decent performing regulator?

 

[gaudencio]

Well thanks for the info.
But I'm done with US divers. I'm now using Conshelf SE2. But am thinking of upgrading to the MR22. Since it's a world record. Why not give it a try.

The Conshelves are killer regs, don't get rid of it! I have my mothers from the mid 70's and it is still a wonderful breathing reg! Even compared to my Atomic, in my opinion. Besides its simple and essentially bulletproof!

I'm not so sure that you'd be "upgrading" by going to a MR22.
The Conshelf is what was used when the regs were made for the Kirby-Morgan Superlites, they just made the Conshelf into an adjustable.
Those things are used on hardhat working dives every day going down past 1200'.
